Ardnamurchan 10 Years 2014 – 2025 Cask #338

First Fill Oloroso Sherry Butt

This 10-year-old gem from Ardnamurchan is a true delight for sherry cask lovers. Carefully selected by the blending team and fully matured in a first fill Oloroso butt, this unpeated expression delivers a rich, oily dram packed with personality. Bottled at a bold 57.1% ABV and limited to just 667 bottles, it’s a rare treat worth savoring.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Luscious waves of brown butter, honey-roasted peanuts, candied apple, and peach jam. A warm, sweet and nutty bouquet that invites you in.

Palate

Full-bodied and creamy, bursting with strawberries and cream, followed by dark chocolate Bounty bar and crunchy peanut brittle. Decadent and mouth-coating.

Finish

Long and satisfying with roasted nuts, a gentle salty touch, and a beautiful balance of sweetness and umami. A richly rewarding dram.

Ardnamurchan Distillery

Ardnamurchan Distillery is located on the remote and scenic Ardnamurchan peninsula on the west coast of Scotland. Established in 2014 by Adelphi, a respected independent bottler, the distillery is known for its commitment to sustainability and traditional production methods. Ardnamurchan uses renewable energy sources such as hydroelectric power and wood pellet boilers.

The distillery produces both unpeated and peated whiskies, each with their own distinctive flavour profile. The unpeated Ardnamurchan whiskies are known for their elegant and fruity character, with notes of apple, pear, vanilla and a subtle spiciness. These whiskies offer a smooth and accessible taste experience.

In contrast, the peated Ardnamurchan whiskies have a more robust profile, characterised by rich smoke notes and earthy influences, combined with hints of citrus and spice. These whiskies are more complex and have a deeper, more intense flavour.

Ardnamurchan whiskies are often constructed from both a combination of peated and unpeated whiskies and as a blend of bourbon cask and sherry cask matured single malts, which provides a nice balance and depth of flavours. The combination of innovative sustainability, traditional craftsmanship and Ardnamurchan's unique terroir makes this distillery a remarkable newcomer to the Scotch whisky world.
