Ardnamurchan Single Malt Whisky Cask Strength - Peated

So I can't find a code or anything here. This is the first release of the CS without a date so I assume this is where I should review it. This is nearing the end, I've been using this as my "I can't taste but want peat" whisky for a while...that'll let you know where we are going. Mike and I already reviewed on the channel, but this is months later and near the end. Nose - Bubble Gum going on strawberry with hints of cherry. Those sour fruits over a smoke pit...coal driven. Some mint, pine, and a touch of kinda glue sour. Overall really lovely. More pepper and lemon grass. Taste - There's a lovely sweetness, but yeah spiced. really spiced. Good smoke and peat notes. Good vanila and a good kiss of sherry. But god this is heavy pepper and spice. I"m not sure where this is coming from. Youth or maybe odd casks? I'm leaning youthful malt. I really hope this malt matures from this spice note and gets rounded out by the 10 year mark (which is coming out soon). I think this is going to be great at 10 years old. But this isn't there yet. 1.25 - potential here, but you don't need this. Maybe split a bottle 10 ways to try the distillery.

Nose: medicinal, citrus Body:brine, citrus Finish: smokey, spice

(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow – Virtual Ardnamurchan & Adelphi Tasting, 01 April 2022. Hosted by GSC, and presented by Graeme Mackay and Connal MacKenzie from Adelphi). Nose: Savoury, salty, light peat, sweet honey Palate: Sweet peat, light smoke, oily, fennel/aniseed, hay/floral. You do get a little medicinal/Fisherman's Friend funkiness. Finish: Medium short finish. Black tea, salt saline, sweet smoke. Very gentle peat on the aftertaste along with white pepper and touches of apple and pear. Peated to 30ppm 95% peated ex-bourbon barrels from 2015 5 casks of unpeated from 2015 2 hogsheads of Oloroso from 2016 2 hogsheads of PX from 2013 This is a nice gently peaty dram. There's a gentleness of the spirit despite it being a cask strength. This is what I would consider an entry level peated dram. Easy to drink and enjoy. Shows the character of the spirit - it's not all about the casks. Came joint third out of the six drams, with 15% of the final vote for favourite of the night. 91% of those present said they enjoyed the whisky.
