(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: Barley sugar, forest fruit, strawberries and cream. Very light on the nose. Palate: Raisins, currants, icing sugar, lemon cheesecake, honey sweet, orange. Finish: Medium short finish. Light sherry, buttery, chocolate orange. There are hints of leather and liquorice on the aftertaste. You get some of the funky distillery character, with a load of light, icing sugar sweet spirit. A great wee dram! 1 of 348 bottles 5 unpeated sherry octaves, married into one hogshead. One octave each was picked by a team from Ardnamurchan distillery as part of a fundraising exercise. In May 2021, the five walked from Fife to the distillery, raising funds for the Ben which is the Scottish Licensed Trade Benevolent Society. One brought from the Adelphi archives for the tasting, so no longer available for sale (unless you can find it on the secondary market). Came first out of the six drams, with 35% of the final vote for favourite of the night. 91% of those present said they enjoyed the whisky. This got my vote for favourite of the tasting.
