Marking an exciting milestone for the distillery, Ardnahoe Cask Strength Edition Batch 1 showcases the character of Islay in its purest form. Matured exclusively in first-fill bourbon barrels chosen for their richness and depth, this inaugural batch has been aged for five years and bottled at a natural cask strength of 60.9% ABV.
Non-chill filtered and free from artificial colouring, this release captures Ardnahoe’s spirit exactly as it leaves the cask, bold, honest and full of coastal charm. Expect a vibrant balance of sweet vanilla, fresh oak and gentle maritime peat smoke, delivered with the intensity only cask strength whisky can offer. A landmark bottling for Islay’s newest distillery.
