A lifted freshness of citrus peel and orchard fruit leads into gentle peat, soft vanilla, and a faint saline breeze.

The finish lingers with soft ash, sea salt, and a quiet thread of citrus and pepper.

Distiller's Background:

Ardnamurchan Distillery, owned by Adelphi, was established on the remote Ardnamurchan peninsula with a focus on traditional Scotch methods supported by modern, sustainable energy sources. Its signature AD release blends peated and unpeated malt and matures across bourbon and sherry casks, resulting in a style that reflects both the rugged coastline and the measured craftsmanship at the heart of the distillery.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve neat or with a drop of water at 60–64°F to reveal the whisky’s balance of fruit, peat, and maritime character. It pairs well with smoked shellfish, aged Gouda, or dark chocolate infused with sea salt, each echoing its coastal depth.
