Ardnahoe Chairman’s Selection is a one-off, limited-edition Islay single malt created to the personal specifications of the distillery’s late founder and chairman, Stewart Laing. The most heavily peated Ardnahoe released to date, it stands as a deeply
personal tribute to Stewart and the whisky he envisioned for the distillery.
Peat smoke leads on the nose with coastal salt and rich cacao. The palate develops with earthy, smouldering smoke, lemon curd, honeyed malt and stewed plums, followed by a long, drying finish of ashy peat embers, cracked black pepper and
salted toffee. Produced in limited quantities, each bottle is presented in an individual gift box containing a personal letter from Stewart, offering collectors a unique insight into this significant release.
Drawing upon selected older casks of heavily peated Ardnahoe spirit, this six-year-old whisky was matured predominantly in first-fill sherry casks. Bottled at its natural cask strength of 60.2% ABV without artificial colouring or chill filtration, it presents a powerful expression of Ardnahoe’s character while retaining the balance, complexity and elegance that define the distillery.
