Description

Adam Teacher, son of Glasgow Blender William Teacher, decided it was time his family had their own malt whisky distillery and so built Ardmore Distillery in 1898. Not long after, Ardmore became a limited company and expanded its stills from two to eight stills in total. Around 600 ft above sea level sits the Ardmore Distillery, at the highest point of the Northern railway line in the Highlands of Scotland. This allowed for the founder, Adam Teacher, to easily transport materials from Glasgow to the rather remote location, allowing the distillery to thrive. Ardmore was sold to Beam Suntory in 2006 before becoming part of Beam Suntory’s world whisky portfolio including names such as Japanese Distilleries Yamazaki and Hibiki. Still to this day, the water source is from the naturally rising springs that are situated on the 1,500 ft Knockandy Hill. Ranging from lightly peated to sweet and fruity drams, the Ardmore became one of the last in Scotland to switch from fire to steam-heated stills.

This malt distillery was more used for blending malts such as Teachers. However, this bottling was distilled in 1986 and was matured for 12 years. It celebrates the 100th anniversary of the distillery.
