Ardgowan Clydebuilt 12 Year Old Sherry 100 Proof 57.1% Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl - NEW
The Clydebuilt 12 year old Sherry Cask 100 Proof is a higher strength version of the original 12 year old Sherry Cask expression.
This Single Malt is bottled at 57.1% ABV to deliver an amplification on Clydebuilt’s signature Sherried style. The strength corresponds to the traditional British 100 proof system, historically defined as the point at which a spirit could still ignite gunpowder: approximately 57.1% alcohol by volume.
Matured in a combination of Sherry butts followed by Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso hogsheads, this release intensifies the dark fruit, spice and oak character.
No added colour and non chill-filtered.

Ardgowan Distillery
Great Single Malt Scotch whisky requires four ingredients: fresh spring water, malted barley, yeast and, of course, time. Ardgowan Distillery is a group of Scotch Whisky enthusiasts who feel that many distilleries, often because of pressure from shareholders, are in too much of a rush to get their spirit to market. That’s why they came together to form The Ardgowan Distillery Company - an independent whisky maker with a respect for tradition, a passion for innovation, and a firm commitment to giving every drop of spirit the time that it takes to make a good whisky great.
The Ardgowan estate is the site of a natural spring which provides water of exceptional purity and sweetness. It is also close to the sea and the warming effects of the Gulf Stream. All of which makes it the perfect place to produce an exceptional Single Malt with distinctive maritime characteristics.
Whilst they await completion of their flagship state-of-the-art carbon-negative distillery and the first distillation of their own spirit in 2024, they are sourcing and laying down Malt Whisky from all across Scotland. They select the casks and carefully curate them, only bottling when ready, at a minimum of 46% ABV, natural colour and not chill-filtered.
