Ardnahoe Infinite Loch

A brand new Islay distillery! Well, it was founded in 2017, but its inaugural release only appeared in May 2024, followed by this (their first core release) in Sep. The distillery was built by top independent bottler and blender Hunter Laing (from the same family as Douglas Laing who we’ve also featured previously, but the company was split between brothers Stewart and Fred back in 2013 and are now separate).

Working with Jim McEwan (legendary former Bowmore and Bruichladdich master distiller) to build the distillery and perfect their craft, Stewart Laing and his sons Andrew & Scott are producing classic peated (40PPM), fruity Islay spirit. Worm tub condensers (rare in distilleries these days, and unique on Islay, but loved by whisky fans) are used to ensure the desired texture and complexity. Matured in a combination of bourbon and oloroso sherry casks.
