Product description
This Single Malt from Ardnahoe stands out from the typical sherry cask matured whiskies, as it was matured 100% in an Oloroso Quarter Cask and bottled as one of only two bottlings for the new Càraid Ìleach range. Càraid Ìleach (pronounced Car-ich Ee-luch) is Scottish Gaelic and means "the Islay pair". This Islay whisky is a real rarity, as quarter cask maturations are very rare in the whisky industry. The special type of maturation creates a refined sweetness and a rich flavour profile characterised by dark fruits. The first full cask maturation in 100% Oloroso Quarter Casks from the Islay distillery Ardnahoe brings together the characteristics of peat smoke and the fine, spicy fruitiness of Oloroso Sherry Quarter Casks. Quarter casks are only a fraction of the size of conventional casks, which means that the distillate has even more contact with the wood and therefore matures even more intensively. The Single Malt was bottled with Ardnahoe's preferred alcohol content of 50.0% vol. without artificial colouring or chill-filtration as a limited edition, exclusively for the German market.

The Distillery:
The Ardnahoe Distillery was founded on Islay in 2018 by Stewart Laing and his sons Andrew and Scott. The family behind the independent bottler Hunter Laing & Co. has thus fulfilled its long-cherished dream of owning its own distillery. The name Ardnahoe comes from the Scottish Gaelic and means "height of the hollow".

Markon 08.02.2026Aroma:
Fruchtig, leichte Süße, Rauch eher im Hintergrund.
Geschmack:
Fruchtiger Antritt, geht über in ordentlich Rauch, Alkohol gut eingebunden.
Abgang:
Mittellang, aschiger Rauch, dezente Fruchtigkeit.
Kommentar:
Guter Whisky, überzeugt mich persönlich jedoch nicht ganz so sehr wie sein Bruder aus dem PX Quarter Cask. -
