This is the second spirit to be released from Adelphi’s new project, "Ardnamurchan", the most Westerly distillery in mainland Scotland. At just one year of age, it's too young to be classified as whisky (three years is the threshold in Scotland). The 2017 edition is produced using a combination of both peated and unpeated spirit, all of it aged in Sherry casks. The exact regime included 22 American oak ex Oloroso and PX octaves for the peated Ardnamurchan, and 8 American oak ex Oloroso and PX octaves for the unpeated Ardnamurchan. These small (55 litre) casks and warmer maturation environment have resulted in a spirit that has developed considerable flavour and character in a short period of time. All 30 octaves were married in Spanish oak PX butts for 4 months before bottling in the distinctive slate grey bottle reflecting the volcanic past of the local peninsula.
