There's a lovely citrus sweetness, with a backbone of char and hints of damp peat. This is a wee cracker of a dram - youthful, layered and complex for a 7y/o whisky.
Came first out of the six drams, with 53% of the final vote for favourite of the night. 94% of those present said they enjoyed the whisky.

@cascode I have enjoyed most of the Ardnamurchan releases I’ve tried so far. Both of the Paul Launois editions have been excellent, so if you manage to find a bottle at retail I’d definitely recommend going for it.
Everything I've tasted from Arnamurchan has been good. I must keep an eye out for this one.
