A wonderfully textured single malt from Ardnamurchan, distilled from 100% unpeated Golden Promise barley in 2018 and fully matured in American oak bourbon barrels, before being bottled at a robust 59.2% ABV, it boasts a rich, oily mouthfeel, layered with creamy sweetness, toasted nuts, and soft orchard fruit.
Unchillfiltered and natural colour, as always!
Official Tasting Notes
Nose: Freshly opened milk chocolate digestive biscuits. Glacé cherries, lime cordial, a soft dusting of icing sugar on marzipan, apricot jam. Melted butter with acacia honey on sourdough toast. Salted preserved lemons. A whiff of long grass.
Palate: Chewable, oily mouthfeel. The marzipan theme continues, with sugared almonds. More nuts: salted cashews and subtle pistachios. A gentle, creamy sweetness. Rich orange polenta cake. Baked cooking apples with fizzy lemonade. Peshwari naan filling.
Finish: Oily, luscious and well-balanced. Medium length. Traces of soft orchard fruit, a sweet nuttiness and the last sip of espresso.
