About this Lady of The Glen whisky

This Ardmore 12 Year Old from Lady of the Glen, founded by Gregor Hannah, is a finely balanced Highland single malt that showcases the distillery’s lightly peated character through careful maturation and a well-judged sherry finish.

Distilled on 26 November 2013 and bottled on 12 January 2026, the whisky spent its early years in a traditional barrel before being re-racked into a refill Oloroso sherry quarter cask (cask 809313) for a two-year finishing period. Quarter casks increase the interaction between spirit and wood, allowing flavour development to accelerate, while the refill nature of the cask ensures that the influence remains measured and integrated rather than dominant.

Ardmore’s spirit is known for its gentle, earthy peat smoke, often accompanied by orchard fruit and a subtle floral edge. This profile lends itself particularly well to sherry finishing, where the added sweetness and spice can enhance the whisky without masking its underlying character.

The result is a whisky that feels both expressive and composed. Notes of red apple skin, burnt toffee, and smoked herbs create a layered profile where fruit, sweetness, and smoke sit in harmony. The influence of the Oloroso cask adds a soft fruitiness and gentle depth, complementing the whisky’s naturally balanced structure.

Bottled at cask strength (59.1% ABV), with natural colour and without chill filtration, this release delivers both intensity and texture while remaining approachable with time or a drop of water. With an outturn of just 137 bottles, it is a compact and characterful release that highlights Ardmore’s understated elegance.

A refined Highland malt - lightly peated, fruit-led, and thoughtfully matured - offering both complexity and easy drinkability in equal measure.

How much is shipping?

Shipping charges are calculated during checkout, depending on where you live and how many bottles you’re buying. It's usually more cost effective to ship two or more bottles, particularly for international orders. The perfect excuse to treat yourself to an extra bottle!

What about taxes?

All alcoholic products sold by TopWhiskies are sold subject to UK alcohol tax, which is already included in the price.

UK sales are subject to VAT (currently 20%), which is included in the price. Sales outside of the UK are not subject to this tax, and international prices do not include it.

We use a specialist US shipper who sorts out US taxes. These costs are factored into the US shipping charges. So shipping may look pricey, but remember it covers your taxes as well, so there'll be no further bills to pay. US Customs takes two to three weeks to complete, after which your parcel will arrive at your door as if it were a normal delivery.

For all other territories, including those in Europe, please note: your order could be subject to local sales taxes and duties upon arrival in the destination country. All additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient. As customs policies vary widely from country to country, TopWhiskies has no control over these charges, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. If you refuse to pay any import duties and taxes, this could result in the goods being destroyed by customs or being returned back to us - any refund offered would include a deduction of our costs.

Meet The Founder

Gregor Hannah

Lady Of The Glen was founded by, and is still run by, Gregor Hannah. From a young age, Gregor developed a keen interest in whisky, influenced by his father, a Scottish piper. His father would often receive bottles of whisky as tokens of appreciation for his performances at various celebrations, including weddings and Burn's Nights. Fascinated by the wide array of bottles, each with its own unique colours, shape, and label, Gregor developed a strong appreciation for scotch whisky.

Two and a half decades later, while working at a bar, Gregor's learned about independent bottling. Here, he gained in-depth knowledge about the history and techniques of sourcing and bottling unique whiskies. This led him to establish Lady of The Glen in 2012. The brand is independently owned and specialises in sourcing and bottling rare, single-cask whiskies from various regions in Scotland.
