Ardnahoe - 5 Years Cask Strength Batch #2 - Islay - 0.7L

Ardnahoe 5 Years Cask Strength Batch #2 – Untamed Power from Islay

Those seeking something special off the beaten path will find an Islay whisky that captures the wild energy of the Hebridean coast in its untamed form. This dram is not a quiet companion, but a powerful statement of smoke, salt, and artisanal precision.

Traditional Distilling Art on the Shores of Loch Ardnahoe

Ardnahoe Distillery, a passion project of the Laing family, combines decades of expertise with the traditional methods of the Isle of Islay. For this limited Batch #2, the single malt matured for five years exclusively in hand-selected First-Fill Bourbon Barrels directly on the coast. Bottled at natural cask strength of 61% ABV, it is consistently non-chill filtered and free of colorants to preserve the unadulterated character of the malted barley.

A Symphony of Coastal Salt and Dark Cocoa

In the bottle, the whisky presents itself in a warm golden hue, reflecting the intensity of its cask maturation. The nose is greeted by a maritime breeze, earthy peat smoke, and a distinctive note of cocoa. On the palate, a complex structure of garden fruits and herbal tea unfolds, balanced by caramelized notes with salty depth, before the experience culminates in a long-lasting, smoky finish with subtle citrus undertones.
