Ardnamurchan Ad/ Sauternes Cask

Ardnamurchan Peated Sauternes is crafted from 100% peated spirit, initially matured for 3 years in ex-bourbon casks before spending an additional 3.5 years in ex-Sauternes barriques. This naturally coloured, un chill filtered Whisky is bottled at 50.0% ABV, with a limited release of 8,460 bottles.

The nose is vibrant with lime leaf, lemon balm, shortbread, and hay bales, layered with pineapple upside-down cake, desiccated coconut, crème de pêche, stem ginger syrup, pencil shavings, and a touch of tobacco. The palate brings nutmeg, dried ginger, and orange blossom water, alongside smoked manuka honey, lemon meringue pie, salted cashews, Tajin seasoning, Creamola foam, Tizer, and an earthy, farmy smokiness with hickory wood depth. The finish is spicy, punchy, and bright – a luscious, decadent dram.
