Ardnamurchan Paul Launois 2026 Release

Ardnamurchan Paul Launois 2026 Release highlights Ardnamurchan’s approach to cask innovation, using Champagne-seasoned wood to introduce layers of fruit, minerality, and subtle acidity that complement the distillery’s spirit. Bottled at cask strength and presented without chill filtration or added colour, the whisky retains its natural texture and flavour intensity.

On the nose, it opens with lively aromas of orange icing, lemon curd, and salted caramel, alongside hints of rum-and-raisin ice cream, orange blossom, and fresh herbs. The palate is rich yet vibrant, revealing macadamia nuts, peach, vanilla, and warm spice, supported by a zesty citrus acidity derived from the Champagne casks. The finish is clean and drying, gradually unfolding into a bright, fruit-forward character with lingering notes of candied lemon and gentle spice
