The Darkness Whisky Ardmore 19 YO Pedro Ximenez Cask Finish 49.3% 500ml

The Darkness Ardmore 19-Year-Old Pedro Ximénez Cask Finish is a distinguished single malt Scotch whisky that exemplifies the harmonious fusion of Ardmore's signature peated character with the rich sweetness imparted by Pedro Ximenez sherry cask maturation.

This expression hails from the Ardmore Distillery, renowned for its Highland single malts. Aged for 19 years, the whisky undergoes a finishing period in custom-made Pedro Ximenez sherry octave casks. These smaller casks increase the surface area contact between the whisky and the wood, intensifying the influence of the sherry and imparting deeper, more robust flavors.
