Reviewed
April 10, 2022
(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.
