FAQs

What does “Allardice” mean?
It is a tribute to James Allardice, the distillery founder.

Is it better than the 15 Year Old?
The 18 YO is considered more sherry-dominant, oily, and significantly more complex than the 15 YO.

Why is it called a “Sherry Bomb”?
Because it is matured exclusively in Oloroso casks, producing intense dried fruit, nuts, and spice flavors.

Does it have added colouring?
No, it is naturally coloured from the sherry-soaked wood.

What is the “extra age” secret?
Some bottlings released between 2014–2019 contain whisky older than 18 years, due to distillery closure between 1996–2002.
