"Ardnamurchan’s star is bright, and their commitment to excellence explains why even their entry-level core item is so damn good." - Andrew Kitz, B-21 Spirits Buyer
Established in 2014, Ardnamurchan is relatively new in the Highland scene, but they've got their feet fully under them, and they've been the talk to the town in Scotch circles for a few years now. The commitment to world-class quality is evident in everything from the distillery's facilities to their production, aging, and blending, resulting in some of the most compelling new Highland malts to hit the market in some time.
We firmly believe that any truly great distillery hits the marks at every point on the spectrum, and the entry-level offerings have to deliver the goods too, which is why Ardnamurchan has been such a thrilling discovery for us. Their flagship AD Single Malt is further proof of one of the sharpest blending teams in the business. Equal parts peated and unpeated malt offer up a distinctive take on Highland whisky, and the combination of ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks "fits the spirit like a glove," as B-21's Andrew Kitz notes.
This overperforming whisky is a prime choice for a broad audience. With just enough peat character for fans of that style, it also showcases plenty of Highland elegance and complexity for a truly distinctive profile that you don't often find at this price point. No surprise then, when Andrew calls it quite possibly "the best QPR Scotch star on the shelf." |
