Ardnahoe Inaugural Release 5YO, 50%

https://youtu.be/LdharXP5ipc

Ardnahoe. The first new single malt release from Islay in nearly two decades.

A passion project from Hunter Laing independent bottlers and blenders. A distillery boasts the longest line arms in Scotch whisky, wormtub condensers, and when it comes to this release, a gateway for more people to get into Islay whisky.

Matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, 5 year old spirit, 35ppm, bottled at 50% ABV witn no chill filtering or added colour, this is one of the most balanced styles of classic Islay whisky that you’ll come across. I’ve no idea how many were released. If that’s what you care about, then you’re probably not going to open it.

A truly delicious, fresh, smoky, sweet addition to the legendary west coast stalwarts on Islay.

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 528: Benrinnes 13 Year Old 2010 Asta Morris

Mark Dermul, Belgian whiskyblogger, goes to a barbecue… Every Whiskyfestival tries to stand out by also releasing a festival bottling. And on the 8^th of June 2024 the third edition of a wonderful festival in Mark’s neck of the woods takes place: When Whisky Meats BBQ – no, that’s not a typo… For this edition, they teamed up with Belgian bottler Asta Morris and selected this Benrinnes 13 years old 2010 that started life on a bourbon barrel, but then got a sherry finish.
