Ardgowan’s Master Whisky Maker, Max McFarlane, describes it as follows:
“Take a sip of Shipwright and let the gentle waves of marzipan, Ceylon tea, dried spices and tobacco wash over you – roll the whisky to the front of your mouth and on the tip of your tongue you will find orange peel, rich dark notes of black cherry and molasses. In the end, Shipwright closes gently, first dry, then slowly evolving into spicy, long-lasting aromas.”
This release is a blend of four single malts from the Speyside and Highland regions, matured in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks. A total of 750 cartons were produced, representing 4500 bottles for the global market. Bottled without chill filtration and without added colouring.
While the Ardgowan Single Malt continues to mature in casks for several more years, whisky maker Laura Davies is crafting the Clydebuilt blended malts with the same care and expertise.
Whiskies matured in the finest quality casks are housed at the Ardgowan distillery, where every stage of their development is closely monitored.
The goal is simple:
👉 bottle only when the flavour profile reaches perfect balance.
