The first release from Adelphi's Ardnamurchan distillery. The spirit 2016 is a combination of peated & unpeated spirit, this was matured for the final three months in Pedro Ximnez sherry butts. The bottle is marked with a series of notes: Concerto Barley, Broomhall Farm, Glenmore Spring, Long Fermentation, Slow Distillation, Oloroso PX. It has been labelled as a 'spirit' instead of 'whisky' as the first release is merely 18 months young. Nose: The nose is filled with notes of apple, sweet raisins & lightly herbaceous, there are remnants of dry grass & soil & it is rather quite earthy. Over time, the nose also offers a touch of cinnamon, complementing its herbaceous & earthy notes. Palate: The palate is soft, tannic with loads of berries, citrus & is quite sweet & fruity. The citrus continues with hints of orange peel, lemon meringue before being topped by a light layering of peat smoke & remnants of clove spice. Finish: The finish is medium to long, soft & tannic & there is a bit of heat on the finish.
