The 2024 release of Ardnamurchan Sherry Cask is a combination of peated and unpeated malt, aged in Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks and bottled at a hefty 50% ABV.
This is the second batch of Ardnamurchan's Sherry Cask Release and is made from 21 Sherry Butts (90% Oloroso and 10% Pedro Ximénez) for a total output of 21,000 bottles in the batch.
This combination makes for a smoky, rich and salty dram that shows layers of raisin, candied cherry, fruit cake, mixed nuts, and orange marmalade.
