Aligned in style to several sherried Islay expressions, though, perhaps with extra richness, Ardnamurchan's foray into the heavily sherried market comes out of a combination of PX and Oloroso casks. It's a whisky in two parts; Peat and coastal notes first, then the sherry arrives late in a sweet rush of dried fruits and vanilla, mixed up with oily lanolin, tangy peel and menthol tobacco. A satisfying, precociously balanced malt and yet another notch in the belt for Ardnamurchan, twenty five casks make up the release: 15 hogsheads of unpeated spirit plus 10 butts of peated new make - most of which has already sold out via major UK retailers. 50% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
