FAST FACTS:

• Up until 2007, the brand didn’t bottle any of its whisky as single malt. It was instead primarily used to produce the blend Teacher’s Highland Cream Scotch Whisky.
• Ardmore was one of the last distilleries in Scotland to use coal fires to heat its stills. Several years ago, the brand switched over to steam heat.
