"With results like this, I 'm now an official Ardnamurchan super fan. The future is ridiculously bright for these guys." - Andrew Kitz, B-21 Spirits Buyer
We recently introduced you to one of our absolute favorite new discoveries, the Highlands' rising-star distillery Ardnamurchan. Everything about them is set up for success, from their exceptionally pure Highland malt to their knack for combining it with some amazing barrel finishes that always seem to hit the mark, no matter how unconventional. The Sherry Cask was a smash-hit earlier this year, just an expertly crafted, traditional sherry-aged beauty, but this ex-mezcal cask shows how vision and execution can produce something completely singular in character.
From 100% peated malt distilled in 2017, this spectacular expression spent 18 months finishing in ex-mezcal cask, which is, dare we say, a perfect combination. Elegance, depth, and utterly distinctive aromatic and flavor profiles are on full-display as the whisky offers up its Highland heart and soul with just enough of the mezcal influence to add several layers of intrigue and enchantment.
Bright, vivid, and crystalline, this single malt is unlike anything you're likely to come across any time soon. "If a top-flight Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru lent its personality to Highland malt, this would be the result," declares our own Andrew Kitz. The only drawback here is the limited availability, so snap it up while you can, as we don't know when we'll see it again. |
