Tasting Notes:

Nose: Bright and elegant, opening with lemon zest, green apple and crisp orchard fruits. Gentle maritime notes drift through, joined by white grape must and delicate floral sweetness. Subtle honeycomb and freshly baked pastry hint at the Champagne barrique influence.

Palate: Vibrant and textural at cask strength, delivering waves of citrus oil, vanilla pod and warm brioche. The spirit of Ardnamurchan Distillery brings a soft coastal character, balanced by creamy stone fruits, toasted almond and a touch of minerality. A lively interplay of sweetness and freshness builds with each sip.

Finish: Long, refined and lightly effervescent in character. Notes of candied lemon, white peach and oak spice linger, followed by a gentle maritime breeze and a final whisper of Champagne-driven elegance.

About Distillery:

Ardnamurchan Distillery in Glenbeg, Acharacle, Western Highlands started production of spirit in 2014. Their first bottling, 'The Ardnamurchan 2016 AD', is released in 2016 and 2500 bottles were sold out overnight. Scotland’s ‘greenest’ distillery launched their first single malt Scotch whisky, 'AD/09.20:01' in 2020 and had a similar success to their previous bottlings. Since then, all their releases, especially the limited editions of special cask finishes and single cask bottlings, quickly become one of the most sought-after Scotch whiskies.
