Ardnamurchan AD/ Sherry Cask Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Ardnamurchan’s AD/ Sherry Cask Release is a coastal, sherry-rich single malt crafted from a marriage of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry butts, layered over the distillery’s signature maritime peat smoke. Un-chill filtered and natural in color, it’s bottled by batch so strength and nuance can vary slightly, while the house style stays bold, savory, and sea-kissed. Expect a full-bodied dram that moves from dark, umami depth to mineral brightness, always anchored by that west-coast character.
