Born from the wild beauty of Scotland’s most westerly mainland distillery, AD 10 is a study in balance and detail. Crafted from unpeated spirit and matured entirely in first-fill bourbon casks, about half of the batch enjoyed an extended year-long rest in Champagne Paul Launois barriques. The result is a whisky that combines creamy vanilla sweetness with an elegant lift of fresh fruit and a maritime edge, all carried with Ardnamurchan’s quietly confident character.

Nose:
Bright orchard fruit and lemon zest mingle with vanilla cream and honeycomb. Hints of toasted oak, fresh brioche, and a delicate sea breeze.

Palate:
Soft layers of ripe pear, apricot, and creamy toffee. The Champagne cask influence brings a lively burst of white grapes and subtle pastry notes, while the bourbon base lends depth with coconut and gentle spice.

Finish:
Long and fresh, with lingering citrus oils, vanilla pod, and a faint coastal salinity that slowly fades into sweet malt.
