Ardmore 41 Years Old 1985

This peated single malt from Ardmore is truly something special — a whisky four decades in the making. Distilled on the 13th of February 1985 and matured for 41 years in a single Hogshead (Cask No. 1152), this extraordinary expression was bottled at cask strength in 2026 by Royal Mile Whiskies, yielding just 161 bottles. It is the oldest whisky the celebrated Edinburgh retailer has ever released — and an exclusive bottling that will not be repeated. Royal Mile Whiskies are self-confessed admirers of Ardmore, long drawn to the distillery's distinctive house style of smoke and fruit in harmony. After more than four decades of patient maturation, that signature character is said to be at its most abundant and expressive — making this a landmark dram in every sense of the word.
