More About Ardnamurchan 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Ardnamurchan 10 Year Old is the first ongoing age-statement release from the acclaimed Ardnamurchan Distillery, located on Scotland’s remote west coast peninsula. Produced by Adelphi Distillery, this whisky has quickly become one of the most talked-about modern Highland single malts thanks to its balance of maritime character, gentle peat smoke and exceptional cask quality.

This release combines both peated and unpeated spirit, matured predominantly in bourbon barrels with a small proportion of sherry casks to add depth and complexity. Bottled at 46.8% ABV, non-chill filtered and natural in colour, it captures the distillery’s signature style of coastal freshness, creamy texture and restrained smoke.

On the nose, expect aromas of coconut, oat biscuits, orange zest and salty sea air layered with bonfire embers, mint and subtle red fruit sweetness. The palate is rich and creamy with notes of vanilla wafer, custard creams, soft brine and earthy peat smoke balanced by warming maritime character and lingering spice.

Unlike heavily peated island whiskies, Ardnamurchan 10 Year Old focuses on balance and texture, allowing smoke, fruit and coastal minerality to work together harmoniously. It has rapidly earned a reputation among whisky enthusiasts as one of the standout releases from Scotland’s new wave of distilleries.

Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up the maritime and citrus notes.

Available now at The Beerhive with UK delivery.

Meet the Producer, Ardnamurchan Distillery

Ardnamurchan Distillery

Style: Distillery

Ardnamurchan feels like one of the most exciting things to happen to Scotch whisky in years, partly because the distillery managed to arrive with a very clear sense of identity from the very beginning. Founded by Adelphi in 2014, the distillery sits in Glenbeg on the remote Ardnamurchan peninsula on Scotland’s west coast, one of the wildest and least populated parts of the mainland. The location shapes almost everything about the place. Atlantic weather, sea air, peat, forests, mountains, and a tiny local community all feel deeply tied into the character of the distillery itself.

What makes Ardnamurchan especially interesting is how modern the whole operation is while still feeling very rooted in traditional whisky values. Adelphi already had a huge reputation as independent bottlers before building the distillery, so there was never much pressure to chase quick success or mass-market whisky styles. Instead, the focus was very much on making characterful whisky properly and patiently from day one. The distillery produces both peated and unpeated spirit, uses natural colour and non-chill filtration throughout, and places a massive emphasis on transparency around production and maturation.

Sustainability is also a huge part of the story, although thankfully it never feels like empty marketing language. The distillery runs using renewable energy generated from local hydro power and a biomass boiler fuelled by nearby woodland, making it one of the greener distilleries in Scotland. Even the bottles were designed with lower environmental impact in mind. It’s one of the few whisky projects where the environmental side genuinely seems built into the philosophy of the place rather than added later as branding.

There’s also something very refreshing about how approachable the distillery feels despite how respected it’s already become among whisky obsessives. The whiskies are complex and distinctive, full of coastal character, gentle smoke, orchard fruit, waxiness, and texture, but they still feel incredibly drinkable and welcoming rather than designed purely for collectors. In a surprisingly short amount of time, Ardnamurchan has gone from “interesting new distillery” to one of the names people get genuinely excited about whenever a new release appears.
