Ardnamurchan AD/The Midgie

Ardnamurchan makes delicious whisky and this one is no exception. Boght this on special for 30 Pounds plus shipping to the states, so total to me was around $60. This is a blend of mostly 8-ish year old bourbon barrels with one 7-year old sherry cask, and 5 each of 6-year old Madeira and Sauternes casks. It appears to have been a UK only release that was a collaboration with an insect-repellant company called Smidge. Thankfully though, I don't think any of the repellant made it into the bottle. The dominant notes for me are orange marmalade, salted caramel, rich milk chocolate, ginger, and maybe a slightly milder peat than you'd typically find in a Talisker. It seems a little sweeter than their regular releases, and the slightly higher ABV is nice. The fruity toffee smoke combo is delicious. I recommend any Ardnamurchan, but this might be my favorite so far of the ones I've tried.
