Ardnamurchan AD/09.20:01 (700ml)
Created from a 50:50 split of unpeated and peated spirit using 65% ex-bourbon casks and 35% sherry casks, the resulting whisky offers a captivating amalgam of honeycomb, waxy peel, oyster shells, winter strawberries, black pepper and bonfire embers. It's dry and bready in the opening passes, then more definitively coastal and peaty. Young yet already complex, mouthfilling and shrouded in mezcal-like smokiness while hinting at dried grass, white pepper, caraway bread and brine. Subdued malt sweetness carries the finish. Even better after extended air contact, this is a style that will threaten its Campbeltown cousins for coastal superiority in years to come.
The bottle comes equipped with a QR code that allows you to access the blockchain technology which provides the entire provenance for the whisky. It's more information than most will want - or ever need. It's also a demonstration of complete transparency - an approach that may encourage other distilleries to follow suit.
