This much-requested bottling is comprised of malt matured in bourbon casks which were filled in early 2018. A ratio of approximately 60/40 of unpeated to peated spirit was then re-racked into Madeira casks just over two years ago. These casks were vatted just prior to reaching 7 years old and bottled at 52% ABV, yielding just under 19,000 bottles in this batch.
As always, Ardnamurchan whiskies are un-chill filtered and of natural colour.
The tasting notes for this batch are:
Nose Cocoa powder, stewed plums, sugared almonds, bread and butter pudding, nutmeg, sandalwood, bracken, fruit scone, red currants.
Palate Cinnamon sweets, cedar bark, salted trail mix with chocolate chips, rosemary stalks, toffee apple, pine needles, strawberries with black pepper.
Finish Medium weight, dusty, long and slightly drying finish.
