Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why does the ABV vary between batches?
Each Ardnamurchan Cask Strength release is bottled at the natural proof of the selected casks without dilution — meaning the ABV reflects the exact strength of the whisky as it came from the barrel, which varies naturally between batches.
Should I add water to a cask strength Ardnamurchan?
A few drops of still water can open the aromatics and soften the heat, revealing additional layers of fruit, smoke, and coastal character. Start neat, then add water gradually to find your preferred expression.
