AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This Ardnahoe 5 Year Old “Inaugural Release” marks the historic first official bottling from Islay’s newest distillery, founded by the renowned independent bottler Hunter Laing. Distilled shortly after the distillery’s opening in 2018 and bottled in 2024, this release represents the beginning of a highly anticipated new chapter in Islay whisky history. Matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon and ex-Oloroso sherry casks, it offers a bold yet surprisingly mature character for its young age. Approximately 70,000 bottles were released worldwide.
Bottled at 50% ABV, non-chill filtered and with natural colour, this whisky showcases Ardnahoe’s distinctive house style: heavily peated, oily and coastal, with traditional worm tub condensation adding extra depth and texture. Whisky enthusiasts have praised the distillery for delivering a remarkably polished inaugural release that already displays a clear identity among Islay’s legendary producers.
The nose opens with peat smoke, wet earth, smoked olives, citrus, figs and hints of sea spray, balanced by gentle sweetness and subtle spice. On the palate, expect layers of ash, pepper, lemon zest, red fruits, campfire smoke and a rich oily mouthfeel. The finish is long, smoky and warming, with lingering coastal notes, spice and soft sherry sweetness.
A highly collectible inaugural release and an excellent addition for fans of peated Islay whisky, collectors of first editions, or enthusiasts eager to follow the future of this promising distillery. Bottle and packaging are in excellent condition and will be carefully packed for secure and insured shipping.
