Ardnamurchan Peated Bourbon Cask
Single Malt — Highland, Scotland
Reviewed
November 5, 2020
(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow – Ardnamurchan Virtual Whisky Tasting, 05 November 2020).
18ppm by the time it is bottled.
Old Forrester bourbon cask,
Bottled in Fife.
Nose: Sweet, peat, citrus. A little herbal and mineral.
Palate: Smooth, honey/spice. Apple, brown sugar, pears (very heavily), vanilla.
Finish: Sweet peat 'funk', ash, caramelised brown sugar. Still some mineral/herbal (tarragon).
Not likely to be a retail release. This was drawn straight from the cask for the tasting, but is available at the distillery.
There is a really nice 'chewy' mouthfeel. Exceptionally well integrated for such a young whisky.
Came third out of the six whiskies, with 12% of the final vote for favourite of the night. (83% of those present said they enjoyed the whisky).
