Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 'Cask Strength AD 02.22'

• Cask strength single malt Scotch whisky distilled at Ardnamurchan [ARD•na•murkan] Distillery in Glenbeg, Scotland (Western Highlands)
• 87% peated and 13% unpeated malted barley distilled in copper pot stills
• Aged in ex-bourbon (90%) and ex-sherry (10%) casks; non-age statement
• A nose of peaches and spicy tajin, tapioca, and marzipan lead to a spiky midpalate of charred campfire wood and hickory-smoked bacon with a surprisingly soft finish of lingering smoke and saline
• No added coloring
• Non-chill filtered; 58.3% ABV

Though the aromas of this cask-strength offering from Ardnamurchan hint at the round fruit present in the distillery’s core expression, expect a drier, more piquant palate as the peat and proof get dialed up. The finish, however, stays surprisingly gentle given the proof. Only 2400 bottles were released to the US, so don’t miss the opportunity to see one of Scotland’s most exciting young distilleries stretch its legs as it experiments with variables of production.
