Ardnamurchan Description
A fruity, sweet single malt from Ardnamurchan distillery, AD/ was made with a combination of peated and un-peated malt and matured in both ex-bourbon casks and ex-sherry casks. Aromas of toasted marshmallows, pebble beaches, orange oil and popcorn fill the nose, complemented by notes of melted chocolate, marshmallow, lime cordial, sea salt, bitter orange, dark chocolate and salted popcorn throughout the palate.
The Ardnamurchan peninsula is a place that today can appear untouched and almost desolate, but it has been an outpost of human habitation for about four millennia. The Vikings stayed for 500 years with a watchful eye on the nearby islands of Skye, Mull, the Western Isles, and the Argyll coast. In 1266, the last Viking Mhuchdragain Mac Righ Lochluinn was killed by one of his own Scottish vassals. Later in the 1200s Mingary Castle was built by the MacDouglas of Lorne to serve the needs of the Lords of the Isles in their positioning against the King of Scotland. Three mainland military expeditions failed over the next two hundred years before King James IV visited the Castle in 1493 and this most western peninsula on mainland Scotland was ever so tenuously added into the lands of the Scottish crown. The Gaellic translation for Ardnamurchan can be interpreted as Headland of the Great Seas, a reality echoed in much of the peninsula’s history.
