  • Inverdarach Ardgowan Open Day 2024 10 Year Old

    Inverdarach Ardgowan Open Day 2024 10 Year Old

    $80.00 Availability: In Stock

    Derived from the Gaelic phrase meaning “where the waters meet the oak,” Inverdarach prides itself on its ability to choose the finest casks for its offerings, and this bottling is no different. The Inverdarach Ardgowan Open Day 2024 10 Year Old release is a rich Highland Single Malt, created from a marriage of four first-fill sherry hogsheads to celebrate the Ardgowan Distillery’s 2024 Open Day, and the distillery’s exciting future.

    Bottled at a cask strength of 56% abv, this liquid is natural in colour and non-chill filtered for an authentic taste. Limited at only 1366 bottles worldwide, you’ll find this dram to be a beautifully balanced sherry number, with a nose of black cherries, heather honey, teak oil, and roasted hazelnuts. Reminiscent of an antique bookshop, the palate is full of an cereal earthiness, with notes of dark chocolate, and oats. The finish lingers long with light tannins, sweet black tea, and cigar smoke.

    Ardgowan’s Master Whisky Maker, Max McFarlane, shares: “This is a stunning example of the magic that great wood can create. We monitored these casks closely, bottling them at what we felt was the perfect moment.”
