Ardnamurchan Golden Promise
The say distance makes the heart go fonder. Dougie returns to Ardnamurchan’s fair whisky shores after a long break and discovers what’s inside this 5 year old Unpeated Golden Promise Barley expression.
Dougie’s 2023, in Review
While reviewing those two Aqvavitae Ardnamurchan bottles, somehow, in so many incidental ways, Dougie highlights all of the things to be grateful for exploring whisky. Those high-energy, emotional, glowing, amber-inspired moments we all love to live for.
Ardnamurchan Rum Cask Release
A buddy-up review is required as Drummond and Dougie both have their beloved Ardna from rum casks to discuss. This wide but limited release is no doubt on a few Santa lists this year.
Ardnamurchan ArdnAmerica
Mid-office move, house move and family move, Doog has no bandwidth to think about how he can grab the latest Ardna exciter, but no worries. In steps a generous soul from the whisky fold and he finds some time to step back into whisky heaven.
Ardnamurchan Sherry Cask Release
Dougie decides that this whisky knocks socks off, that it’s interesting, complex, exciting, enduring, endearing and put out for the sole reason that this is just what Ardnamurchan whisky is - we can therefore we do.
Ardnamurchan Paul Launois
An experimental camper van trip around Scotland’s west coast affords Dougie the chance to get to know an excellent release from Ardnamurchan. It also affords us the chance to travel with him. Come for the score, get hooked by the words, stay for the images. Wow.
Ardnamurchan Hand Fill PX 783
Our resident Ardnamurchan gold-miner Dougie is once more battering the Glenbeg seam for the next amber nugget, surely it’s only a matter of time before he lands only on pyrite? Perhaps, but not yet.
SMWS Ardnamurchan 149.3
Maturation location has long been an interesting debate in scotch whisky, does it make a difference? Our Dougie is not alone in believing so and he’s suspicious he can actually taste it.
Maclean’s Nose
We find Wally in an unfortunate huff. In a whisky world with too many examples of things being cynically enshittified, he’s on the hunt for an antidote.
Ardnamurchan My Name’5 Doddie
Dougie tackles two Ardnamurchan releases with an emotional perspective on Doddie Weir and his legacy. Hankies at the ready.
Ardnamurchan April Fool
Dougie continues to harvest his favourite fruits from the Ardnamurchan tree, but could this delightfully gimmicky bottling from The Whisky Exchange be his first banana skin?
Ardnamurchan Distillery Hand-Fill
A rare insight into 100% peated Ardna. It doesn’t disappoint.
