Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 10 Year

• Limited release Western Highland single malt Scotch whisky distilled at Ardnamurchan [ARD•na•murkan] Distillery in Glenbeg, Scotland
• Produced from 52% unpeated and 48% peated (30–35 ppm) malted barley
• 72–96-hour fermentation in wooden and stainless steel washbacks
• Twice distilled in copper pot stills
• Aged a minimum of 10 years in 54 ex-bourbon barrels and 2 ex-sherry hogsheads
• 16,380 bottles produced
• The nose opens with buttery oats and oily orange peel, interwoven with a maritime breeze and a heady punch of bonfire lifted with mint. On the palate, rich notes of crème brûlée and vanilla wafer are balanced by brine and earthy smoke. The finish is lingering and warm with persistent echoes of hearth and sea.
• No added coloring
• Non-chill filtered; 46.8% ABV

Intended to become a core expression as the volume of production rises (founded in 2014, Ardnamurchan released a one-off 10-year-old expression in 2024 to celebrate its first decade), this release aims to be what a 10-year Scotch is traditionally thought of: a benchmark reference for the distillery’s house style. Blending modest peat, familiar honeyed sweetness from ex-bourbon barrels, and a light whiff of maritime salinity that’s equal parts ocean air and sherry hogshead, it’s a compelling statement from a distillery perched on the edge of the wild Atlantic sea.
