Tastes

A lovely and very wuality bourbon. A great easy sipper for being bottled in bond. Classic flavors, great palate, still adjusting to the corn finish in bourbon overall.

A nice loud bourbon that has a good base and look forward to this being aged a few more years as the young distillery matures

Fun to taste a rye with a 100% Rye mashbill! Gave some fun sweet and of course spocy flavors and a nice aftertaste for the hugh abv

A lovely mix of peat and spice and lovely farmy vibez! Well balanced and a great pleasant sweetness that goes through the whole thing.

Its hard to say a distillery can do no wrong… but can Ardnamurchan do anything wrong?!? Every release is grrat and for such a young distillery, i am continually amazed! This is their most basic release snd still fire! Peated halfway to the pleasant spoce and fruit that is amazing. Cant wait to see what they do in the future!

A great intro to the Kalavalan Distillery! The dense fruits are so rich and thick that stays with you. They definitely hit what they were going for!

A great fruity and lightly coastal dram! The nand palate is a balance of beautiful apple sauce, lightly spiced honey, and a baked orange peel.

Nose was super sweet and fruity, lots of lemons, pineapple, and some raisins. The palate was super different, a very newtral mid palate. It was a unique experience, where the flavors and textures in the high and low notes were gone. It left mid palate notes of a nice but not sweet mango. The finish was shorter, but left a nice mango note! The best part was having tasting it at my bros house and the power went out and we were just chilling having great convos and great scotch waiting for the power to come back.

The PX cask gave the sweetness to combat the high ABV but the nose had a youth bite that was pared with a nail polish esc. note that probably needed a few more years to round out. Overall solid but needs some tweeking to get to where the other Benriach cask editions are.

A very nice punchy desert version of the Benriach family. The marsala added lots of lovely dark fruit and nutty flavors I did find it to overpower the distillate a bit more than I like, but what can I expect from 23 years in a marsala cask! Beautiful color and great finish!
