Ardnamurchan 10 Year-Old 2025 Release Single Malt Whisky, 50%

This 10-Year-Old represents the first of what will become a regular release, increasing in volume as stock becomes available over time. While not yet part of the permanent core range, the Ardnamurchan 10-Year-Old will be released annually in limited quantities until consistency allows for a full core expression, following a similar path to that of the original Single Malt released in 2020.

The first batch of the Ardnamurchan 10-Year-Old is bottled at 46.8% ABV, non-chill filtered, and of natural colour.

This whisky is composed primarily of Bourbon barrel matured spirit (98%), complemented by a small portion of Sherry casks (2%) to add depth and richness. The spirit itself is 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.

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.

Tasting Note: Aromas of ripe mangoes, pineapple, and honey, with deeper notes of crème caramel, toffee, and white chocolate. A waxy, oily texture with flavours of linseed oil, gingerbread, and fresh pineapple.
