Blended and brought to life by team Ardnamurchan, endorsed and approved by our Chief Nose.
Maclean’s Nose is a nod to our rugged Western peninsula home, and a homage to the long mentorship we have received from Mr Charles MacLean.
The bottle labels have been designed in partnership with Scottish artist Reuben Sian de Gourlay. They are made from Crush Barley, a sustainable paper, and include QR codes that share information about the whisky and its make-up.
