Considered one of the most remote distilleries in Scotland, Ardnamurchan Distillery takes its name from the Highland peninsula it inhabits. Opened in 2014 by independent bottler Adelphi, this modern distillery blends cutting-edge sustainability with traditional craftsmanship to produce a rich, coastal single malt with remarkable depth and complexity.

Due to the young age of the distillery, single cask independent bottlings of this spirit are hard to find. This 5 year old example is particularly rare - it's Ardnamurchan's peated expression, fully matured in a first fill Oloroso sherry hogshead.

For the artwork on this release, they’ve featured John Cobb's Crusader - a jet powered racing boat, built in 1949. You can see Crusader speeding towards the bay of Ardnamurchan peninsula, with the distillery in view.
