The Cask
Drawn from one cask. Marked for the few.
Noctara is SRN's first release — a single cask expression shaped by time, wood, depth, and restraint. Created for private allocation and intimate tasting moments, it marks the beginning of a house built around rarity, ritual, and atmosphere.
Tasting Notes
A long, contemplative pour.
Nose
Dark fruit and damp oak. Fig, raisin, polished walnut, a thread of clove smoke.
Palate
Dense and slow. Treacle, dried cherry, espresso oils, leather, then a long mineral spine.
Finish
Long, dry, faintly bitter. Cocoa nib, antique wood, and the memory of the room.

This sherry hogshead holds a rare unpeated Islay spirit distilled at Bunnahabhain Distillery exclusively for Ardnahoe. Produced as a limited run and matured entirely in sherry, the cask combines clear Islay provenance with the depth and structure of sherry-led maturation.
It benefits from increasing scarcity and sustained demand for high-quality sherried Islay stock. With its distinctive profile and premium cask type, this cask stands out as an increasingly rare example of unpeated Islay spirit.
