So it is lightly smoky and bottled at a solid 48% vol.: a fruity, floral blend of sweet and salty with a hint of smoke and a solid, dry finish.

Ardnamurchan is a distillery in the western Highlands with a partly very complex history. It was founded and run as early as 1826 by Charles and David Gray in Glasgow. After years of ups and downs, the distillery was finally closed and dismantled in 1968. The story of today's distillery begins in 1993 with the descendants of the original founders, who decided to become an independent bottler under the Adelphi label. In 2007 they decided to reopen the distillery, only this time it was to be located in the western Highlands. Single malt has been flowing from their stills since 2014, and more and more bottlings are seeing the light of day.
