Ardnahoe is an Islay single malt Scotch whisky distillery owned by Hunter Laing. Its first distillation runs began in October 2018.
A complex, unusual whisky pairing green walnut, black pepper, bitter orange and bay leaves, with pepper ultimately stealing the show.
Peat and sherry work wonders here, with leather, tobacco, candied citrus and pepper, though the reviewer finds the bourbon influence more precise.
Sweet vanilla, mango and banana coat this taut, salty whisky, but the palate is excellent, becoming rootier with water and finishing long, fresh and pure.
