  1 rating (average 4.5 of 5)

This single malt from Ardnahoe matured entirely in a single bourbon barrel, developing its distinctive character over a period of six years. Single Bourbon Barrel #581 was released as part of the exclusive First Generation series.

With this series, the young Islay distillery presents strictly limited single-cask bottlings, bottled at natural cask strength. The whisky remains completely natural, without added coloring or chill-filtration, thus preserving its original character and full aroma.

What does Ardnahoe First Generation Single Bourbon Barrel #581 taste like? The aroma unfolds with a clear and gently smoky character, reminiscent of a distant campfire, accompanied by pronounced yet balanced vanilla and caramel notes. A hint of honey blends with fresh oak, while bright fruit notes like green apples resonate in the background. On the palate, the whisky is pleasantly sweet with vanilla and caramel, complemented by dry peat smoke, oily nuances of grain, and vibrant fruit aromas. The finish is medium-long, characterized by smoke and a mild oak spice, with the sweet vanilla and caramel notes gradually fading and lingering gently.
