Ardnamurchan 'Mezcal Cask 2025 Release' 55%

Made from peated Ardnamurchan spirit and matured for six years before a final 18 months of additional maturation in ex-Mezcal casks, this a first for the distillery and one of only a handful of Scotch matured in this type of wood. Crisp, vegetal and herbaceous, the Mezcal influence is obvious from the start, bringing a character of eucalyptus, green banana and scented smoke throughout. Mineral chalkyness and olive brine give way to creamy sweetness and an earthy finish.
