The independent bottling company Adelphi Distillery owns Ardnamurchan Distillery. Jamie Walker founded Adelphi in 1993, naming it after The Loch Katrine Adelphi Distillery, which operated from 1826 to 1932 before being demolished 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. They released their first official single malt whisky 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.
This is Ardnamurchan's first ever Tokaji Cask Release. They first received these casks in early 2024, and made the decision to use 100% unpeated spirit for this first edition. They chose 28 unpeated bourbon barrels originally filled in 2018 and re-racked them into the Tokaji casks sourced directly from Hungary. Just over 2 years later, the result is a luscious, funky, and vibrant 8-year-old Tokaji-finished Ardnamurchan single malt!
A release of 8736 bottles.

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
