Ardnamurchan Distillery applies the same thoughtful approach to blending used in balancing its single malts to this self-described “rugged, west coast, old-style blend,” named in honor of both the headland of the Camus nan Geall inlet located near the distillery (known locally as Maclean’s Nose), and Ardnamurchan’s own contributing mentor and head “nose”, Charles Maclean, who is widely acknowledged as one of Scotch’s top whisky authorities.

The high-malt content and marked sherry influence in this blend make it a noteworthy addition to any whisky shelf, but its approachability in both profile and price relay a refreshing lack of preciousness; simply put, this is a very tasty whisky that should be enjoyed now and often thereafter.
