Staff Pick Notes

If it seems that the world of single malt Scotch is all about tradition, taste this and think again. Ardnamurchan officially opened in the summer of 2014 on the westernmost peninsula of the mainland. The distillery is surrounded by natural beauty and while it has ties to the history of the spirit, this juice offers something uniquely new and exciting. It's not only their spirits that are innovative, but also their distillery practices. Ardnamurchan has a square aim on the future of Scotch production in more ways than one. Take a whiff of this and it's like smelling a basket of warm, honeyed bread. Soft cinnamon and ginger accompany the cereal notes and quietly dictate that no time is wasted in tasting this thing of exceptional beauty. Outstanding in quality and value, I can't wait to see what the future holds if it tastes like this.
