Ardnamurchan AD/Core Release
Ardnamurchan is one of Scotland's young 'challenger' distilleries, with an almost obsessive commitment to transparency — every detail of your dram is a QR code away. Happily, the whisky lives up to the principles: elegant smoke wraps around orchard fruit, creamy vanilla and a sharp peppery kick, with a long, warming finish. Complex and characterful for under £50 — one I genuinely loved.
