Ardnahoe Infinite Loch Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL

Ardnahoe Infinite Loch has been matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon and ex-Oloroso sherry casks, and is bottled with no artificial colouring and no chill-filtration.

Tasting Notes:

Sea-spray, Islay peat and dark chocolate on the nose. Menthol, fresh fruits and bonfire notes on the palate lead into a smoky, zesty finish.

"While it can’t quite match the surprise of the Inaugural Release, this first ‘regular’ version is rather brilliant. I’ll add that it only needs a drop of water—best not to drown it." - Serge, Whisky Fun (88 Points)

"It is modern take on a classic Islay single malt. The peat smoke is there in force but it’s balanced. It’s not super peaty. You’d think that building on Islay and trying to make a name for yourself would potentially lead you to go the more extreme route akin to an Octomore-like PPM explosion or the iodine-drenched notes of a Laphroaig, but no. The peat smoke is there as a leading role amongst a strong supporting cast of influences (meats and fruits)." - Whisky Unplugged

"A wonderful core range release that maintains a firm identity from its sister-releases. Keep the hits coming!" - /r/Scotch (user: Silver-Power-5627)

"Infinite Loch seems to cover a few bases: there’s some sweetness, some saltiness, some smokiness and a touch of dryness – particularly in the finish. I keep coming back to the word “fresh” because that’s exactly how it feels – like a bright, breezy spring day in Islay. It’s much closer to a Kilchoman or a (bourbon-matured) Bowmore than it is any of the big-hitters in the south, but that’s no bad thing" - A Scot on Scotch

"We loved the Inaugural Release and were excited to try this permanent addition to Ardnahoe’s line-up. While that first bottling was a little richer, and older we suspect, the Infinite Loch is equally as impressive. There is plenty going on and it exhibits a depth and complexity beyond its years. It is not just smoke, but has layers of fruit, sweetness and spice. Ardnahoe is definitely one to watch and it will be very interesting to see how their spirit develops with further time. This is a very promising start." - Whisky For Everyone

"Please let this quality continue on future batches of this. It’s a beauty." - Dramface
