Tasting Notes:
Nose: Rich aromas of cocoa, orange peels, dark cherries, and a hint of campfire ash.
Palate: Full-bodied with notes of roasted walnuts, spicy fruitcake, and nutmeg that harmoniously blend with the Islay peat smoke.
Finish: Long and substantial, leaving a fine hint of leather and the unmistakable maritime character of the island.
Distillery/Bottler: The Ardnahoe Distillery was founded in 2018 by the Laing family and is the newest distillery on Islay. It is located on the northeast coast of the island, between the Caol Ila and Bunnahabhain distilleries, and uses the soft, peaty water from Loch Ardnahoe. Unique to Islay is the use of traditional worm tubs, which give the whisky additional depth and complexity.
