Description
Selected EXCLUSIVELY for Australia, Cask 778 is a peated first fill American Oak ex-bourbon barrel whisky. The distillery tells us that this is one of the very last casks filled in 2015 for release as the majority of their 2015 casks are maturing so well, they’re quite hesitant to bottle more preferring to see how the whisky evolves with even further ageing.

For those of you curious on what the numbered codes represent on the label, we’ll use this bottling as the perfect example. AD/12.15 CK.778:
12: The month the spirit was distilled.
15: This is the vintage (2015)
778: This is the cask reference

About Ardnamurchan distillery
Ardnamurchan distillery was built and is owned by Adelphi, an independent bottling company and is considered one of the remotest distilleries in Scotland.

With a keen eye on sustainability, the distillery is powered by renewable energy to reduce their carbon footprint via hydro-electric power and a large bio-mass boiler using timber from the nearby Ardnamurchan forest. The boiler provides heat to the distillery floor maltings and the distillery and the whisky is created using water from springs above the distillery drawing from the Glenmore River.
