Product description
The Single Malts of Scotland, launched 2005, is the whisky range from Elixir Distillers Ltd portfolio.
The company is a brainchild of Sukhinder and Raj Singh, two brothers with passion for fine spirits. They went online in 1999 with introduction of The Whisky Exchange, a site which has grown to become the web’s most famous retailer of whisky and fine spirits with a range close to 8000 products available online at any time. The Single Malts of Scotland are usually single cask expressions bottled of natural color, without chill-filtration and at natural strength. Here we have Ardmore distilled on May 27, 1998 and aged in hogshead # 750764 for 23 years, then bottled at natural strength of 51% abv on July 3, 2021 with an outrun of 245 bottles. The whisky was selected by Belgium importer The Nectar to commemorate their 15th Anniversary.
