Ardnahoe Infinate Loch review

So, let's face it...these guys aren't new to the whisky game! We're talking Hunter Laing here! They've been pleasing us as an independent bottler for quite some time. Some of us were lucky enough to get their hands on a bottle of Ardnahoe's inaugural release and some, myself included, enjoyed it. So...what of their first core release? Well...here's what I thought!

This one sounds like a flavor profile I am currently enjoying Jim. Makes me want to research what type of PPM Ardnahoe is releasing in these first two editions. Also feel like with a name starting with "Ardna" I am bound to like it 😉. Cheers!

Good review Jim, glad you like it. The Inaugural one and this one is a combination of bourbon and oloroso but the Feis Ile one was fully ex-bourbon which was beautiful! I find myself comparing this more to Machir Bay or a peated Raasay. Cheers!

Interesting with the first core range release from a young distillery. Would love to taste it some day, but I'm not in a rush to buy a bottle for the time being. Somehow, I've discovered that space in my basement is actually not unlimited 😂🤫 If I see it in a bar, on the other hand, I won't hesitate for a second buying a dram of it! Cheers buddy! 🥃

Thanks for reviewing this one. We are all interested in this new Islay player and hopeful for the future. As I've said before, I don't rush in on new distilleries for their early releases, but I love to have a chance to learn about them and even try them. The problem is that this is not likely to find itself in a pub near me. Cheers, Jim.

Thanks for reviewing Jim. Have tried this one last year. Decent dram. And I disagree with the alternative. This Ardnahoe is -imho- way better (but the has also to do with the grape influence in the WB) Slàinte mhath

It has a bit of sherry in it, great review of a great made malt

Cannot wait for the tshirts of the fangirl club of this distillery 😂 jokes aside will wait a bit longer before i'll give this a go.
