Cadenhead Scotch Whisky Chairman's Stock Ardnamurchan 2019 5 Year Cask Strength 700ml
Scotland's Most Exciting New Distillery — Young, Wild, and Utterly Captivating
Ardnamurchan Distillery sits on the most westerly point of the British mainland — a remote, wind-battered peninsula on the west coast of Scotland where the Atlantic Ocean shapes everything, including the whisky. Founded in 2014 by Adelphi Distillery, Ardnamurchan has quickly become one of the most talked-about new distilleries in Scotland, producing spirit of remarkable character and maritime intensity. This 2019 vintage, selected by William Cadenhead & Co. for their prestigious Chairman's Stock tier and bottled at just 5 years of age, is a testament to how exceptional the raw spirit from this extraordinary location truly is — young in years, but extraordinary in character.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Fresh coastal brine, green apple, and barley sweetness with hints of vanilla, light peat smoke, and the unmistakable wild Atlantic character of the Ardnamurchan peninsula
- Palate: Vibrant and full of energy with fresh fruit, sea salt, and a gentle peaty earthiness; the youth of the spirit shines through with a lively, expressive character that belies its age
- Finish: Medium-long with lingering coastal smoke, brine, and a clean, refreshing close — wild, expressive, and deeply memorable
