? Tasting Notes Of Ardnahoe 5 Year Old Cask Strength Batch No1

The whisky is known for combining the distillery’s maritime smoke with the sweet, vanilla influence of the first-fill bourbon casks.

Category Notes
Nose Coastal brine (sea air), earthy peat smoke, and a subtle background of rich cocoa. Hints of sweet vanilla and fresh oak.
Palate Full-bodied and robust. A vibrant tension between sweet orchard fruits (apples, pears), a salted caramel sweetness, and a delicate herbal tea note. The peat smoke is assertive yet well-integrated.
Finish Long, warming, and wonderfully smoky. It concludes with a final burst of citrus undertones (like dried lemon peel) and bonfire smoke.
