Tasting Notes:

Nose: A lively interplay of citrus zest, orchard fruits and honeyed malt, layered with hints of smoked barley, vanilla and coastal breeze. Subtle notes of dried herbs and warm spice emerge with time.

Palate: Full-bodied and textural, offering flavours of baked apple, toffee and lemon peel wrapped in gentle peat smoke. Notes of malt loaf, sweet spice, salted caramel and soft oak develop, supported by Ardnamurchan’s trademark coastal minerality.

Finish: Long, warming and elegantly smoky. Lingering notes of citrus oil, maritime salt, toasted nuts and sweet malt fade slowly, leaving a beautifully balanced final impression.

About the Distillery:

Founded in 2014 on the remote Ardnamurchan Peninsula in the Western Highlands, Ardnamurchan Distillery has quickly gained a reputation as one of Scotland’s most progressive and environmentally conscious whisky producers. Powered by renewable energy and committed to sustainable practices, the distillery focuses on creating whiskies with strong provenance and a clear sense of place. Their first bottling, Ardnamurchan 2016 AD, sold out immediately upon release, while their inaugural single malt, AD/09.20:01, launched in 2020 to widespread acclaim. Since then, Ardnamurchan’s limited editions, single casks and innovative cask-finished releases have become some of the most sought-after bottlings in contemporary Scotch whisky, celebrated for their balance of coastal freshness, gentle smoke and rich Highland character.
