Ardnamurchan, one of Scotland’s most westerly distilleries, has quickly gained acclaim for its balance of innovation and tradition. Its spirit combines gentle Highland fruitiness with a subtle coastal influence, creating whiskies that are complex yet harmonious. Already highly regarded among enthusiasts, single casks from Ardnamurchan offer a clear window into the distillery’s modern house style.

This 200-litre first fill bourbon barrel was filled on 10th February 2025 with unpeated new make at a natural cask strength of 63.40% ABV. The American oak maturation is set to accentuate Ardnamurchan’s orchard-fruited character with layers of vanilla, honey, and citrus brightness, while also allowing the spirit’s coastal freshness and faint smokiness to shine through. With around 200 litres of new make spirit, the barrel promises an elegant evolution, developing richness and complexity over time.

The purchase price includes three years of professional storage and insurance at Braeside Bond.
