Ardnamurchan AD/Single Malt is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky produced by the Ardnamurchan distillery, located on the eponymous peninsula in the Scottish West Highlands . Founded in 2014, the distillery produces its whiskies on-site, in the heart of a wild and unspoiled environment on the west coast of Scotland.
Made from malted barley, the whisky is distilled using a traditional method in copper pot stills, before maturing in the distillery's warehouses near the Atlantic Ocean. Ardnamurchan produces two types of distillate: one peated and the other unpeated. The AD/Single Malt is based on an equal blend of these two styles, namely 50% peated whisky and 50% unpeated whisky .
The maturation process combines ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks , allowing the distillery to create a Single Malt representative of the Ardnamurchan style. The casks are stored on-site in dunnage-style warehouses , where the whisky matures under the specific climatic conditions of the peninsula.
