The bottle in question, known as Old Highland Cream 24 Year Old, carries a certain mystique. Although the label does not explicitly mention Ardmore, whisky writer Emmanuel Dron, in 2013, confirmed at the distillery that this is indeed a single malt bottling. This confirmation sheds light on the provenance of the whisky, adding to its allure.
Emmanuel Dron's statement, backed by distillery confirmation, places the origin of this Old Highland Cream 24-Year-Old as Ardmore, distilled in either 1925 or 1926. The use of a machine-typed label and the context of being released for gifting in the past further contribute to the historical charm of this bottling.
Described as "stunning" and likely directly drawn from a sherry butt, this Ardmore expression encapsulates the essence of a bygone era. With limited official releases and the mystique surrounding independent bottlings like this one, Ardmore whiskies from the early 20th century have become treasured pieces for those seeking a taste of history in every dram.
