Hunter Laing & Co Announces Ardnahoe Inaugural Release
Hunter Laing & Co has announced the launch of Ardnahoe Inaugural Release, the first whisky from Ardnahoe Distillery and the first whisky from a new distillery on Islay since 2009.
Distilled from malted barley peated to 40ppm, Ardnahoe Inaugural Release was matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon and ex-Oloroso Sherry casks for 5 years and bottled at 50% ABV, with no artificial coloring or chill filtration.
Ardnahoe Inaugural Release is described as having aromas of “shortbread, baked apples and Islay peat smoke.” The palate exhibits notes of “custard, ginger, lemon zest, and baked apples,” leading into a “long, smoky finish.”
Ardnahoe Inaugural Release goes on sale on May 10th and will be available via ardnahoedistillery.com and at the distillery itself for £70. It will also be available through retailers across the UK and in more than 20 countries worldwide.
