Peat on peat. This is Ardmore, the Highlands' great peated malt, distilled on 26 April 2011 and aged 14 years in a cask that previously held Laphroaig. Cask No. 800153, bottled straight from the wood at 59.3% ABV, Raw Cask style: no filtration, sediment and char included.

The pairing is the point. Ardmore's peat is Highland peat: earthy, dry, inland. Laphroaig's is the medicinal, maritime smoke of Islay's south shore. Fourteen years in an ex-Laphroaig cask lets one peat tradition mature inside the residue of another. Independent bottlers rarely get to run this experiment, and Blackadder bottled the result at full strength.
