Ardmore

The Peated Highlander

Adam Teacher, son of William Teacher, built Ardmore in 1898 near Kennethmont in Aberdeenshire. The location was chosen for its proximity to both water and the railway. For over a century, Ardmore remained a blending workhorse before emerging as a single malt in its own right.
