Official tasting notes
Nose: Freshly opened milk chocolate digestive biscuits. Glacé cherries, lime cordial, a soft dusting of icing sugar on marzipan, apricot jam. Melted butter with acacia honey on sourdough toast. Salted preserved lemons. A whiff of long grass.
Palate: Chewable, oily mouthfeel. The marzipan theme continues, with sugared almonds. More nuts salted cashews and subtle pistachios. A gentle, creamy sweetness. Rich orange polenta cake. Baked cooking apples with fizzy lemonade. Peshwari naan filling.
Finish: Oily, luscious and well-balanced. Medium length. Traces of soft orchard fruit, a sweet nuttiness and the last sip of espresso.

Description
Matured exclusively in ex-American bourbon barrels since 2018, this inaugural release in Ardnamurchan’s Heritage Barley series highlights how barley variety shapes single malt whisky character. Crafted using highly sought after 100% unpeated Golden Promise heritage barley rather than modern commercial malts, the whisky delivers a distinctive, grain-forward profile with added depth, texture, and classic Highland character.
Like every Ardnamurchan single malt Scotch whisky, it is non-chill filtered, naturally coloured, and bottled in small batches, ensuring no two releases are ever quite the same. These tightly allocated batches sell out quickly across global markets, making each bottle highly sought after by discerning whisky enthusiasts in Australia and around the world.
