Nestled on the rugged Ardnamurchan peninsula, the Ardnamurchan Distillery stands as a beacon of craftsmanship at the western edge. Here, amidst the wild beauty of the West Highland region, the distillery produces its signature styles of whisky, both peated and unpeated, reflecting the essence of its untamed surroundings. Among its offerings, Ardnamurchan 'AD 04.22:02' emerges as a core release, showcasing the distillery's artistry. Crafted with a combination of casks, this expression maintains the distillery's lightly peated character. On the nose, it evokes memories of serene beach picnics, with notes of apricots, zesty oranges, and hints of chocolate mingling with the aroma of Brazil nuts. The palate unfolds with the taste of salty taffy, refreshing lemonade, and the warmth of Christmas cake, while a comforting bonfire essence gently rounds off this classic West Coast single malt, leaving a lingering sense of the rugged landscape it calls home.
