Ardnahoe Infinite Loch Islay Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a debut single malt that captures the raw, untamed spirit of Islay’s newest distillery?

Ardnahoe Infinite Loch marks a historic moment as the first core release from Ardnahoe Distillery, Scotland’s youngest Islay whisky producer. Named after the mysterious Loch Ardnahoe – locally known as the “Infinite Loch” due to its hidden depths – this expression showcases the distillery’s commitment to authentic Islay character. The marriage of ex-Bourbon and ex-Oloroso sherry casks creates remarkable complexity that rivals established names like Bowmore’s aged expressions and Kilchoman’s intense offerings.

**Technical Specifications:**
