Ardnamurchan 10 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky 2024 50% ABV

Marking a decade of craftsmanship in distilling excellence, Ardnamurchan’s 10-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a milestone release celebrating ten years of refined expertise. This limited-edition spirit combines tradition with innovation through its meticulous aging process: every drop spends its entire maturation in pristine first-fill bourbon casks before half of each batch undergoes an additional finishing stage in rare Champagne Paul Lanais barriques—a technique rarely seen outside France’s iconic wine regions. The result is a uniquely layered expression that stands out among traditional whiskies by blending American oak richness with delicate French champagne nuances.

Crafted for those who appreciate complexity without smoke, this unpeated single malt offers a velvety smooth drinking experience at 50% ABV—bold enough for connoisseurs yet approachable for savoring neat or over ice. On the nose, tropical fruit aromas burst forward with ripe mangoes and pineapple mingling seamlessly into honeyed sweetness before deepening into crème caramel and toasted toffee notes reminiscent of golden syrup drizzled over warm gingerbread. The palate delivers an indulgent waxy texture akin to aged linseed oil while showcasing vibrant fresh pineapple flavors balanced by hints of white chocolate—a harmonious contrast between bright fruitiness and creamy sophistication.

Ideal for collectors seeking rare Scotch whisky releases or enthusiasts exploring premium aged spirits beyond peat-driven options, this bottling distinguishes itself through its Champagne-influenced finish—a signature touch elevating its fruit-forward profile above conventional offerings. Whether enjoyed as an after-dinner treat or paired with light desserts like lemon tart or vanilla bean ice cream, Ardnamurchan’s 10-Year-Old delivers exceptional value in its marriage of craftsmanship and creativity.
