Product description

Product description
Ardnahoe The Inaugural Release is the first edition of a new Islay whisky on the market. Distillery manager Fraser Hughes produces the single malt using traditional methods. Peaty Islay water is taken from Loch Ardnahoe and two traditional worm tubs (the only ones on Islay) are used. These were chosen to give the malt additional depth of flavour and complexity. The slow distillation is carried out on two copper pot stills with exceptionally long lyne arms, which prevents the mash from burning during distillation. The limited first bottling is matured in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. The Islay whisky is then bottled after 5 years at 50% vol, non-chill-filtered and without colour. With Ardnahoe, the Laing family fulfils a long-standing wish for its own distillery and markets the first release with this bottling.

The Distillery:

The Ardnahoe Distillery was founded on Islay in 2018 by Stewart Laing and his sons Andrew and Scott. The family behind the independent bottler Hunter Laing & Co. has thus fulfilled its long-cherished dream of owning its own distillery. The name Ardnahoe comes from the Scottish Gaelic and means "height of the hollow". read more
