Ardnamurchan Sherry Cask Release 700 ml

Discover Ardnamurchan Sherry Cask Release 700ml, a limited batch Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky crafted by the award-winning Ardnamurchan Distillery on Scotland's rugged west coast. Produced using a combination of peated and unpeated spirit, this expression highlights the distillery's signature coastal character while showcasing the rich influence of carefully selected Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks.

Each batch is matured exclusively in sherry-seasoned casks before being bottled at natural strength, with the exact ABV varying by release. Like all Ardnamurchan whiskies, it is bottled without chill filtration and with natural color, preserving the whisky's full texture and authentic character.

The whisky opens with aromas of mint, coastal bonfire smoke, salted peanut ice cream, Brazil nuts, and sun-dried tomatoes. The palate delivers layers of smoky bacon, peanut brittle, sticky ribs, ripe plum, cherry, and savory umami notes before finishing with sea salt, fireplace smoke, and lingering cigar-box richness. This bold Highland single malt is ideal for experienced whisky enthusiasts seeking a complex marriage of sherry sweetness and maritime peat.
