46.8%, Non Chill Filtered, no added colour Nose: sweet smoke - reminiscent of pine smoke in the distance, fresh squeezed lime, chocolate orange being broken open, sea or lake mist with some plant matter. Palate: Sweet smoke up front, honey and oats, salted light caramel, peanut husks and chocolate. Finish: medium long, drying salted dark chocolate with some heathery peat. I ended up stumbling upon Ardnamurchan because I’m fairly biased towards Ben Nevis whiskies, for reasons yet to be discussed and wanted to branch out to something else encompassed by Lochaber. What I found was an oily, salty, “peanuts on the pier” whisky that matched up to the rugged funk of that mountain distillery. This is another fantastic value for money whisky that reminds me of being on the fishing boat, distant forest fires in the background and their smoke gently wafting your way. I very much like Ardnamurchan’s transparency and fair prices and would purchase this regularly.
