(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow – Virtual 10th Birthday Whisky Tasting, 4th June 2021).
Nose: Nail polish, acetone, fruit/summer berries, vanilla
Palate: A little ‘hot’. Lemon, tropical fruit, gristy, charred/smoky, Black pepper and ginger.
Finish: Medium long finish. Oak, vanilla, leather. Slightly charred, dry finish.
This is another lovely dram from Ardnamurchan. Unpeated, which is unusual for AD, but still intense and very tasty. Despitebeing a young whisky, it has a great character that gives it a more mature taste and feel. Lovely!
Came first out of the six drams, with 36% (17 votes) of the final vote for favourite of the night. 91% (43 votes) of those present said they enjoyed the whisky. I liked it enough to buy a bottle after the tasting.

@cascode @PBMichiganWolverine I’ve been lucky enough to try quite a few of their early releases and I’ve been very impressed. I passed on their inaugural release (it was a decent whisky, but it just wasn’t to my taste), but since then I’ve really enjoyed all of the ones I’ve tried. Even though their whiskies are all still quite young, they really understand their casks and they are producing whiskies that taste better than their youth would suggest.
I had one of their earlier ones, which was peated. Reminded me so much of a young Talisker, which is a good thing
Not a bad result for it, being preferred as it was to that competition.
