The nose is bold and rich starting with honey drizzled over charred lemon, grilled peaches and cantaloupe, chocolate covered raisins along with a mild campfire smoke then honeysuckle and seaside rocky minerality followed by mangos, pineapple and sautéed figs that transitions to ginger, cloves and sandalwood with medium ethanol burn. The taste is a rich velvety mouthfeel starting with creamy orchard fruit, honeycomb and a mild campfire smoke before a moderate spice that slowly fades to dark chocolate covered espresso beans, Sichuan pepper and grilled figs then light florals and seaside rocky minerality followed by candied lemon peel, nectarines and overripe mango that transitions to light baking spices and sandalwood with medium ethanol burn. The finish is long, starting with a mix of creamy yet slightly sour tropical fruits that slowly fades to dark chocolate covered espresso beans, Sichuan pepper, light ocean brine, mild campfire smoke and sandalwood. This is only the third offering from Ardnamurchan that I've tried and each one has tasted far older than anticipated from a distillery open less than 10 years with this wonderful mix with honey covered creamy citrus dominating but underscored by a mild campfire by the seaside and unique spices. At a price of around $90 near me, this is an absolute buy that can easily compete with bottles twice the cost and is one to watch as their offerings gain more age in the coming years. Thanks @soonershrink for the generous sample.
