Ardgowan Clydebuilt 12 Years Old SHERRY CASK MATURED 100° Proof Speyside Single Malt 57.1% vol. 0.7l online kaufen

The Ardgowan Clydebuilt 12 Years Old SHERRY CASK MATURED 100° Proof Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 57.1% vol. 0.7 l is a powerful Scottish single malt whisky from Speyside, which impresses with its intensive sherry cask maturation and higher bottling strength. This bottling is part of the Clydebuilt whisky range from the Scottish Ardgowan Distillery, which takes its name from the River Clyde’s rich history of shipbuilding. This 12-year-old Speyside single malt is crafted from selected whiskies that are first matured in sherry butts and then undergo additional maturation in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry hogsheads. This carefully balanced combination of casks gives the whisky its distinctive sherry cask character. It is bottled at a robust 57.1% vol., with no chill filtration or added colouring.


What makes the Ardgowan Clydebuilt 12 Years Old 100° Proof so special is the combination of twelve years’ cask maturation, various types of sherry casks and traditional British proof strength. The designation ‘100° Proof’ corresponds to an alcohol content of 57.1% vol. in the historical British measurement system and dates back to an earlier method of determining alcohol strength using gunpowder. As a bolder variant of the original Clydebuilt 12 Years Old Sherry Cask Matured, this bottling showcases the series’ characteristic style with greater intensity. Thanks to the combination of PX sherry casks, Oloroso hogsheads and natural colouring, this 100 Proof Speyside single malt is particularly aimed at lovers of expressive, sherry-matured whiskies.

The Ardgowan Clydebuilt 12 Years Old 100° Proof really reveals its intense sherry cask character when enjoyed neat at room temperature in a tulip-shaped whisky glass. Due to its high alcohol content of 57.1% vol., a few drops of still water can help to release additional fruity and spicy nuances. As a culinary accompaniment, mature Manchego, roasted walnuts or dark chocolate with a high cocoa content harmonise superbly with its distinctive cask character. Date cake, fig tart or chocolate desserts with espresso also complement the rich sherry notes. This bottling offers an interesting alternative to classic drinking strengths, particularly for lovers of full-bodied, sherry-matured Speyside single malt whiskies.
