NOW IN STOCK!

Bottled at 53.6%, this 1+ year old spirit from the Ardnamurchan Distillery is just their second ever release. Andrew's Tasting Note is below as is the producer description and tasting note.

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: bright berry fruits, cranachan, blueberry yogurt, honey and barley sugars; Morrocan marmalade on corse bread; soft leather and gentle earthy tones.

Palate: big, leathery and nutty with loads of berry fruits; more cranachan, blueberry scones with coarse Demerara sugars; cold tea, Russian chocolate and Spanish coffee. 

Finish: light, fresh and warming; berry fruits, malt, sugars and chocolate.

Comment:  lots of layers for something that is still a long way from becoming whisky... can't wait to taste Ardnamurchan as it continues to mature.
