Ardmore 22 Year Old 2003 is a beautifully mature and richly complex Highland single malt Scotch whisky, bottled by Murray McDavid for the prestigious Mission Gold series. Distilled in 2003 and matured exclusively in bourbon barrels for over two decades, this exceptional release was bottled in 2026, yielding just 507 bottles at 44.1% ABV.

Extended bourbon barrel maturation has allowed Ardmore’s gently peated Highland spirit to evolve into an elegant and sophisticated whisky layered with honeyed malt, soft smoke, vanilla cream, tropical fruits, and polished oak. The Mission Gold series is reserved for rare and outstanding casks, and this release perfectly captures the balance between mature oak influence and Ardmore’s signature earthy peat character. Bottled without chill-filtration or added colour, this is a refined and luxurious Highland malt.
