After the Madeira and sherry casks of 2024 and the peated Sauternes barriques of 2025, the 2026 tour bottling turns to port: Ruby Port barriques bring the jammy red fruit, while a single butt of Golden Promise barley matured in sherry wood adds depth and spice. It is the first ArdnAmerica built with no peated spirit at all.
