About a year ago I bought a bottle I could source (not easy to find Ardnamurchan in Greece) in order to see what the fuss is about as I was very disappointed that there is no reference to NCF or colouring and as a result never opened it or have try to find any other bottle. My bottle is the AD/01.21:01 and the QR code does not work either.... does anyone else have any such problems? Do other botlings state that they are NCF and do not have colouring?

. . . I think you're best to contact the distillery directly on this one, and see what they have to say.

On the chill filtration topic, being a brewer of 15 years now, I will say at one brewery I used to work for that would [chill] filter most of our beers, we wouldn’t entirely filter an entire batch of our IPA because we wanted more flavor and aroma to make it the bottles and kegs. Filtration was a standard in brewing for virtually all styles until more recently. The big brewers and true lager breweries drove the idea beer was supposed to be crystal clear. With the explosion of small local breweries that didn’t have the money to spare on a $10,000 filter, people got use to beers not being brilliantly bright. Brewers took note that the unfiltered beers, especially IPAs, were more flavorful and aromatic. That said, spirits are already more concentrated in flavors and aromas than their base fermented “beers”, so chill-filtered spirits won’t be as noticeable over non-chill filtered, especially to the average person. I would hope distilleries prior to make a call to chill filter would do blind triangle tests on trained and untrained whisky drinkers to see if it was worth it, because there are loses in filtration in volume making it to bottles at a minimum. For me, I always prefer non-filtered beers and whiskies (outside of the basic barrier filtration for barrel debris). I can see why the mega producers of more bland and lifeless beers and spirits would heavily filter, because I can’t imagine they are losing anything that would make them better, so might as well make them pretty to look at.

. . . $10,000 a filter, and as an experienced brewer, you prefer more naturally, un-filltered liquors. Many distilleries have a triangle team, but they tend to decide as directed by the boss. It's real life.
