Ardnamurchan AD/ Sauternes Cask Release 2024 is a limited edition Highland Single Malt Scotch Whiskey that highlights the distillery's commitment to quality and tradition. This unique whiskey is matured in exclusive Sauternes casks from the Bordeaux region of France, known for their sweet, aromatic white wines. The wine is made from grapes such as Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle, which after the development of 'noble rot' acquire a complex and sweet character.

The whiskey is first aged in ex-Bourbon casks for 5.5 years before spending a further 30 months in Sauternes wine casks. This combination gives the whiskey a subtle sweetness that balances with the classic Highland flavors of honey, dried fruit and a slightly spicy finish. The natural color and unfiltered character reflect Ardnamurchan's dedication to authentic whiskey craftsmanship. With a limited edition of only 5990 bottles worldwide, this whiskey is a must for collectors and connoisseurs.
