Product details
Founded by independent bottler Adelphi in 2014, Ardnamurchan makes both peated (30-35PPM) and unpeated spirit (about 50:50 in terms of production). Both are used in this release, just as they were for the excellent core AD/ release we featured in August 2023. The difference? The Sherry Cask Release is 100% sherry cask matured. Full maturation in a mix of oloroso and Pedro Ximénez butts. It’s a difference that’s immediately clear in the gorgeous natural colour!
Situated in a remote part of the west coast, Ardnamurchan’s power and heat all come from local renewables, and they’re producing some fantastic whiskies. As Chris in our curation team noted recently, “Ardnamurchan is slowly taking over my everyday drinkers shelf at home!”
