Product details
Ardnamurchan Sherry Cask Release is a distinguished Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the Ardnamurchan Distillery, nestled along Scotland's rugged west coast. Established in 2014, the distillery embodies a harmonious blend of innovation and tradition, reflecting the untamed character of its namesake peninsula. As the westernmost distillery on the Scottish mainland, Ardnamurchan is committed to sustainable practices, utilizing renewable energy sources such as hydro-electric power and a biomass boiler fueled by local timber. This dedication to environmental stewardship ensures that each bottle not only captures the essence of the Highlands but also honors the pristine landscape from which it originates.
This particular release is matured exclusively in Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, imparting a rich and complex flavor profile. On the nose, it presents notes reminiscent of Murray mints, bonfires on the beach, salted peanut ice cream, tomato stalks, Brazil nuts, and sundried tomatoes. The palate is equally intriguing, offering hints of tarry rope, smoky bacon, old tractor sheds, peanut brittle, and sticky spare ribs. The finish evokes sensations of crashing waves, sea salt, a cozy bothy fireplace, and a cigar shop ambiance. This robust and flavorful whisky pairs exceptionally well with hearty dishes such as slow-cooked barbecue ribs, aged cheeses, or rich dark chocolate desserts, enhancing the dining experience with its depth and character.
