Inaugural Release
Distillery Manager Fraser Hughes created the first generation of Ardnahoe using traditional methods: Soft peated Islay water is drawn from Loch Ardnahoe, while the distillery uses two traditional worm tubs – the only ones on Islay. These were chosen to add extra depth of flavour and complexity to the malt.
