Ardnahoe 5 year old Inaugural Release, 50%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2024 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Seaweed, rock pools, and bold peat smoke are balanced with honey, orchard fruits, vanilla biscuits, and floral top notes. An incredible explosion of flavor with marmalade, heather honey, chopped peel, dark fruit, sooty smoke, sherry trifle, and cinnamon sugar. It’s well-rounded without seeming youthful, showing baking chocolate and a greater smoke presence rolling into the finish atop waves of sherry fruit. Quite a debut!
