Today I review the long anticipated first release from the newest operational distillery on Islay, Ardnahoe. Owned by the Laing family, Ardnahoe distillery has unusually long lyne arms and employs the only wormtubs on the island.
This inaugural release is 5 years old, bottled at 50%abv with no added colour or chill filtering and is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and oloroso casks. Let's see how Ardnahoe's first attemp at an Islay whisky fares.
At the end of the review I also compare Ardnagoe 5 to Ardbeg Wee Beastie which also has a 5 year old age statement, close to 50%abv and has some sherry influence. Let's see how they compare to one another. Cheers!
