Ardnamurchan 10 Years Old Anniversary Release Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 50% Age: 10 Years Old Country: Scotland
This particular release is made from 100% unpeated spirit. While Ardnamurchan produces both peated and unpeated whiskies, the 10-year-old unpeated expression showcases a different side of the distillery’s character. Matured primarily in first-fill ex-Bourbon casks. Roughly half of the batch then undergoes a finishing period (over one year) in Champagne Paul Launois barriques. This unique finishing contributes significantly to its distinct profile. Bottled at 50% alc/vol and it is non-chill filtered and has natural colour, maintaining its authentic character.
Ardnamurchan is known for its exceptional transparency, using blockchain technology and QR codes on its bottles to provide detailed information about the whisky’s production, including barley source, fermentation, distillation, and cask types. This allows whisky enthusiasts to appreciate the nuances of each batch and how the different elements contribute to the final flavour profile.
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: Often described as bright and overtly tropical. Expect notes of ripe mango, candied pineapple, and banana bread. You might also find hints of runny honey, toffee, dark brown sugar, vanilla fudge, and gummy sweets. Some reviewers also note a subtle “fizzy” or effervescent quality, and floral aromas.
Palate: The palate is typically oily and waxy, offering great depth. Flavors include rich honey, gingerbread, spiced honey, fresh pineapple, and cedar. It can also present notes of buttered toast, apricot yogurt, white grape, and a subtle minerality. Some detect a warming pepper spice.
Finish: The finish is generally medium in length, with the oily texture lingering. You might find notes of biscuity malt, caramel, and a touch of cedar. It can also have a drying, slightly chalky, or subtly oaky conclusion.
Overall, the Ardnamurchan 10 Year Old is celebrated for its tropical fruit character, waxy mouthfeel, and the intriguing influence of the Champagne barriques. It’s considered a significant milestone for the distillery, demonstrating the quality of their maturing unpeated spirit.
