ARDGOWAN

Ardgowan Distillery combines innovation with tradition, setting new standards in the art of cask maturation. While its own whisky is still maturing in the warehouses, the exclusive Clydebuilt series already demonstrates the potential of the distillery's signature style. Named after the River Clyde – the heart of Scottish shipbuilding – these whiskies embody craftsmanship, time, and passion.


With a clear focus on high-quality cask selection and precise maturation management, Ardgowan pursues an uncompromising standard of quality, which is already evident in the Clydebuilt series. These bottlings not only serve as a bridge until the distillery's first own bottling but also as an expression of the stylistic vision behind future Ardgowan whiskies. This creates an authentic foretaste of what will shape the distillery in the long term.

CLYDEBUILT SHERRY CASK 100 PROOF 12YO

Clydebuilt 12 Year Old Sherry Cask 100 Proof is the higher-proof version of the classic 12-year-old Sherry Cask.

The strength corresponds to the traditional British 100-proof system, historically defined as the point at which spirits were considered 'proof' – i.e., tested and thus sufficiently strong.

Raisins, dates, toasted nuts and spicy notes
