Ardnahoe 5 Year Old - Inaugural Release
Exciting Scotch whisky news! The first single malt from one of Islay’s newest distilleries here. Ardnahoe was founded by Hunter Laing, whisky bottlers and blenders, in 2018. This is the first new whisky from Islay since Kilchoman released its first single malt in 2009. It was matured in a combination of bourbon and oloroso sherry casks, and bottled at 50% ABV with no chill-filtering or colour added.
This bottle was part of a private collection and may show signs of wear if of a certain vintage - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Bonfires, smoked meat, bacon, toffee, and baked apple. A little water brings out lemon zest.
Palate
Peppery, orange citrus, smoky but overpoweringly balanced by a toffee sweetness. Dilution brings out a distinctive lemon note.
Finish
Clean and refreshing, with a sea breeze quality.
Winner of 2 spirit awards
