Ardmore Highland Single Malt – Truth and Consequence’s First Release

Our Pioneer Expression

Introducing the very first Truth and Consequence expression from Ardmore Distillery. This Highland gem comes straight from the cask, in all its pure glory at 62.8% ABV. It’s a refill bourbon barrel delight that was matured for 12 uninterrupted years in the Highlands of Scotland. And the result? A brash and complex piece of liquid nirvana.

The Character

The distillery creates uniquely peated Highland whisky with distinctive character. Unlike Islay malts, Ardmore offers a more gentle, honeyed peat profile. And this particular Ardmore cask showcases the distillery’s signature style with added depth.

We make no apologies for the big and raw cask strength whiskies we bottle. For this expression, we used a simple 25-micron bag to catch any wood or char pieces from entering the bottle. From there, we leave it untouched.

With minimal filtration and no added color, all the beautiful long-chain fatty acids and esters remain in the whisky. This creates a velvet mouthfeel and natural drinking experience free from hard filtration. We curate our bottlings for the real whisky savant.

Limited Availability

The 225L refill bourbon barrel yielded only 125 bottles. This tells us either the Angels were working overtime pilfering their fill, or the distillery workers recognised a great tasting whisky barrel. We really enjoyed choosing this particular cask and hope you savor the whisky as much as we did selecting it.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Delicate honeysuckle mingles with rich vanilla bean, complemented by subtle notes of citrus and damp earth.

Palate: Fresh apple skins provide a crisp entry, evolving to creamy plum yoghurt notes. A touch of soft ash adds depth, showcasing Ardmore’s gentle peated influence.

Finish: Long and satisfying with sooty elements that linger, while golden-oak notes provide structure and warmth, for an elegant farewell.

Collector’s Note

As our inaugural release, this bottling represents the beginning of Truth and Consequence’s whisky odyssey. Each bottle comes numbered, making it a collector’s item for Ardmore enthusiasts and whisky collectors alike.
