Ardnamurchan AD/ 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

The inaugural batch of what's set to become a distillery staple.

Last year saw an AD/10 which was a once-off 'anniversary' release of 100% unpeated spirit from Ardnamurchan's first year of distilling. New as of 2025 is this 10 year old representing the first batch of what will become a regular line, increasing in volume as stock becomes available over time. Composed primarily of Bourbon barrel matured spirit (98%), complemented by a small portion of Sherry casks (2%) to add depth and richness, casks were filled with a well-balanced mix of unpeated (52%) and peated (48%) whisky, combining the clean sweetness and vanilla tones from Bourbon maturation with subtle sherry influence and a measured touch of smoke for complexity and harmony. Bottled at 46.8% Alc./Vol. without chill filtration.

Notes from the producers... The nose opens with coconut, oat biscuits, and zesty orange peel, layered with salty sea air, bonfire leaves, and a hint of strawberry laces and mint. The palate is rich and creamy, with custard creams, vanilla wafer, brine, and earthy smoke. A lingering, smoky, maritime warmth defines the finish.
