Ardnamurchan 10 Year Old 2015 – Decadent Drinks' Equinox & Solstice Spring 2026

Ardnamurchan releases an intriguing peated single malt for Decadent Drinks' Equinox & Solstice Spring 2026 edition. This 10-year-old from 2015 demonstrates that peated whisky has a place in spring, defying conventional expectations. From Scotland's West Highland region, this expression offers a refined take on smoky whisky with a mineral and spicy edge.

Bottled at 48.5% ABV from peated first-fill and refill barrels, this whisky strikes a compelling balance. The nose reveals mineral notes above the peat, with hints of porridge, light citrus, and herbal smoke. On the palate, wildflowers emerge alongside smoked fruit and a pleasant medicinal bitterness, complemented by a clean bourbon character that feels almost understated.

The finish is medium-length with green, mineral smoke that lingers. This is straightforward, no-nonsense whisky—honest and well-crafted. Despite its peated nature, it works beautifully as a highball for spring enjoyment.
