Adelphi, an independent bottling company that owns Ardnamurchan Distillery, makes Maclean’s Nose. In 1993, Jamie Walker founded Adelphi and named it after the Loch Katrine Adelphi Distillery, which ran from 1826 to 1932 before its demolition in 1971. In 2007, the decision to construct their distillery took shape, and the actual construction commenced in 2013. On 11th July 2014, they successfully produced their first spirit. Their first official single malt whisky was released in 2020. Located on the Ardnamurchan peninsula, north of the Isle of Mull, the distillery currently produces around 350,000 litres annually.
They were the first Scottish Distillery to adopt the use of blockchain technology, allowing you to trace the whiskies journey from field to bottle, by scanning the QR code on the bottle. From the outset, Ardnamurchan has emphasised environmental sustainability. They use renewable energy sourced locally – Hydro Electric and biomass boiler, using wood from renewable forest. Committed to minimising its carbon footprint, the distillery uses recycled materials, and source barley from local farms.
Maclean’s Nose combines a traditional blended scotch whisky with some modern twists. It takes its name from the Maclean’s Nose landmark on the Ardnamurchan peninsula. It also honours whisky legend Charles Maclean, who has guided and mentored the Adelphi team.
Maclean's Nose has a high malt content of 70% and a significant presence of ex-Sherry Casks, imparting a rich depth of flavour. Expect the delightful interplay of burnt citrus peel, invigorating sea salt and indulgent white chocolate. A smoky essence of a bonfire by the beach.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
