Ardmore 19 Year Old Bottled 1990s-2000s - Cadenhead's 5cl

A miniature bottle of Ardmore 19 Year Old, bottled at 59% ABV by Cadenhead's, we estimate in the mid 1990s to early 2000s.

While Ardmore distillery is in the Highland region of Scotland, independent bottler Cadenhead's classify is as a Speyside whisky.

Ardmore was founded in 1898 by William Teacher's son Adam, who decided that the family needed their own malt whisky distillery. It has been an important component in the Teacher's blend since the beginning, meaning it has remained understated as a single malt, with few official bottlings released. Aside from being, unusually, a peated Highland malt, it was also one of the last distilleries to switch from coal-fired to steam-heated stills.

This lot comes from the extensive collection of a Merseyside collector who began his hobby with bottles bought for guests as digestifs at private dinner parties in the early 1970s. His interest led to him advertising in the UK national newspapers, and buying and selling bottles as far afield as Australia, America and Ireland, with his last significant addition being a collection he purchased from Stoke On Trent in 1984.
