Ardnahoe – Oloroso Quarter Cask Limited Edition 2025 (70cl, 50%)

Ardnahoe single malt whisky, bottled in 2025 as Edition No. 1 of the Càraid Ìleach series. It matured entirely in Oloroso sherry quarter casks, which are comparatively small and give more wood contact. The whisky combines the spicy, dark-fruit character of Oloroso casks with Ardnahoe's peat smoke. It is bottled at 50% ABV in natural colour and without chill filtration. The edition comprises 2,510 bottles. On the nose there is rich cocoa, dried orange peel and dark cherries alongside the smoky note of cold campfire ash. The palate shows roasted walnuts, spiced fruit cake and a fine nutmeg note. The finish is full and long, leaving fine leather notes and a gentle Islay peat note that fades slowly.
