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

Aroma: Bonfire Smoke Apple Cake Raisin

Geschmack: Peat Smoke Malt Lemon Peel Sherry

Abgang: Peat Smoke Ginger Chocolate einen kurzen Moment Pepper

Kommentar:
In der Nase ein vor kurzem entzündetes Lagerfeuer, Keksteig oder warmer Apfelstrudel jedoch ohne Zimtduft. Fruchtig warm. In Gedanken blitzt der Winter kurz auf.

Am Gaumen rauchig, malzig und angenehm prickelnd. Fruchtige frische und sanfte Sherrynoten.

Im Nachklang kommt der Rauch angenehm aus der Tiefe hoch und hält mit leichter Ingwerschärfe und sehr dunkler Schokolade an. Ein klarer Islaycharakter, ohne zu süß zu sein, und männlich.

Vor dem verkosten im Glas ruhig 10 Min stehen lassen, sowie wenig Wasser in der B-Probe in betracht ziehen. Lohnt sich ;-)

Wer nicht wagt, der nicht gewinnt! Ich kann mir sehr gut vorstellen, dass von Ardnahoe noch das ein oder andere kommen wird. Empfehlung für Islaykenner. Meinen pers. Geschmack trifft dieser Whisky sehr gut.
