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.

The team produce both peated and unpeated whiskies, initially focussing on a highly successful run of limited edition bottlings while a core range is developed. The distillery manager is Fraser Hughes, formally of Bowmore.
