Ardnamurchan Maclean’s Nose Blended Scotch Whisky

Ardnamurchan Maclean’s Nose is a Blended Scotch Whisky with a predominant West Coast character, full of sea salt and soft smoky notes. 'Maclean's Nose' was named after both a local coastal promontory near the Ardnamurchan distillery and the famous Adelphi's Chief Nose, Charles Maclean, who once wrote about their distillery: ‘Ardnamurchan Distillery, closest to my nose’.

    Nose:    Light caramel, cocoa butter, bonfire and sea breeze. Raisin, hazelnut, orange peel and fermented pineapple, with slight floral note.

    Taste:    Rich burnt lime peel and burnt honey taste, raisin, pepper, peat and just a touch of iodine.

    Finish:   Medium with mineral notes, orange peel, raisins, pipe tobacco and a little bonfire smoke.

Ardnamurchan distillery is a Scotch whisky distillery on the Ardnamurchan peninsula of Lochaber in the Highlands, Scotland. The distillery is considered one of the remotest distilleries in Scotland and takes its name from the peninsula. The distillery was built and is owned by Adelphi, an independent bottling company.
Ardnamurchan is the first distillery in Scotland to rely entirely on locally sourced heat and power. The biomass boiler is supplied with woodchip from surrounding forestry, and the electricity comes from a hydro-electric generator on the river which also supplies its cooling water.
