The Sipping Shed exists for the love of whisky. The history, the places, the people, the process, the unforgettable taste… the story of whisky. We wanted to tell that story our way, with our whisky and so The Sipping Shed was born…

Finish – Warming, very spicy, long again, bbq meat, cinnamon, black peppercorns, bbq sauce, that foresty feel again, it’s a super drop tbh.
Love the finish that gets sweeter as it progresses. Lovely Highland peat and burnt embers lingering on. #thewhiskeychaps #sippingshedwhisky

My thoughts – I tried the batch 1 of this Ardmore, that was a superb drop, ex-sherry cask finished, this one is all ex-bourbon cask, and it really showcases the whisky, another super drop that i’d gladly sit with and sip.
Would i buy a bottle? – Most definitly, as this is such a show off bottling of Ardmore, really showcases the spirit.
Notes – This bottling is presented in its natural colour, non chill filtered, and at cask strength.
Many thanks to – Dan Hipshon, founder of The Sipping Shed.
