Ardnamurchan Mezcal Cask 55% 700ml

Ardnamurchan Mezcal Cask Highland Single Malt 55% 700ml

Ardnamurchan’s gone agave for 2025, and the results are properly intriguing. This limited edition release brings together peated Highland whisky (30ppm, if you’re counting) with the wild, vegetal soul of Mezcal casks.

Distilled in 2017 and finished for 20 months in those smoky-savoury casks, it’s bottled at a punchy 55% ABV. The result? Just under 5,000 bottles brimming with coastal peat, herbal depth, and a funky, saline finish that’ll divide opinion – in the best way.

Nose: Green, grassy, vegetal. Immediate sense of the Mezcal spirit. This quickly dissipates, opening the door to fresh, crisp, Granny Smith apples. Green bananas. Resilient, ashy smoke.

Palate: Bright, herbaceous, eucalyptus. Chalky, mineralic, seashore essence. Olive brine, salty capers and flat-leaf parsley. A weighty, fatty dram with an earthy backbone. Finish: Gentle wisps of integrated smoke. Creamy, sweet aftertaste. Earthy.

Finish:  Gentle wisps of integrated smoke. Creamy, sweet aftertaste. Earthy.
