Ardnahoe Infinite Loch

Score: 71

Ardnahoe Infinite Loch is the first core release from Ardnahoe Distillery, named after Loch Ardnahoe—Islay’s so-called “Infinite Loch” due to its unknown depths. Matured in a combination of first-fill Bourbon and first-fill Oloroso Sherry casks, it is bottled at 50% ABV, non-chill filtered, and naturally colored. The nose presents sea spray, Islay peat, and dark chocolate, leading into a palate of menthol, fresh fruits, and bonfire smoke. The finish is smoky and zesty, rounding out a bold yet refined Islay expression. CLUB TASTING NOTES "I rate this the lowest of the night." "Peatyyyyyu" "A nicely balanced Ardnahoe standard range bottling. Clean, powerful peat character, and underneath is a crisp, sweet spirit of shortbread and sugars. Consistent from nose to finish."
