Ardnamurchan AD/01.

[@willemkilian9563]

I don't have the same batch, but what really struck me about Ardnamurchan is the level of development on the palate for such a young whisky. There are plenty of 12-year-old OBs out there that don't have this amount of flavour. Really well done, balanced, and elegant!

[@WhiskyWednesday]

In such agreement with you! Amazing liquids.

[@davidhoward7691]

I ran across this and bought it simply due to their transparency. Distillers should take note.

[@WhiskyWednesday]

Absolutely.

Great flavour descriptors, Phil. Many thanks for the low-down on this second release from Ardnamurchan. I tried the first release from late last year and was very impressed at the early complexity developing in this whisky. Sounds like the second release is stronger on the herbal and green notes in the mid palate. As you say, this is going to be a fascinating malt at 10 years of age if these early „work-in-progress“ bottlings are anything to go by. And - Ardnamurchan is not milking us whisky fans with wildly inflated prices like some other first releases have recently done. Thumbs up, all round. Cheers.

A perfect summary of this video. Big things for these folks in the future.

It's very nice drinking the same whisky while watching your video. Great flavour descriptions. I enjoy this whisky. Thanks for the video.

[@WhiskyWednesday]

Thank you, Vic! Always a pleasure.

Love seeing whisky brand , I have never heard of before. Thank you.

[@WhiskyWednesday]

Always a pleasure!

[@JohnsDrams]

More than happy to fling a Nc'Nean sample your way. Batch one, naturally ;)

[@WhiskyWednesday]

My man! Still working on getting Daftmill and Hedonism to you, DPD are being a constant pain in my arse.

[@mrnosebear7406]

Hi Phil, thanks for this excellent review of a promising and uprising distellery. I have one bottle in my cabinet waiting for me tobe opened. Cheers from Germany.

[@WhiskyWednesday]

Yes! I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Amazing distillery, truly wonderful. CheersA

[@DrinkingOutLoud]

Wait, the best bits of Caol Ila and Talisker with the waxyness of Clynelish!? I'm in! Just found out we're getting a few cases of this out here in BC - can't wait to try it :) Hopefully we'll see you out here at the festival again some time bud!

[@WhiskyWednesday]

Here's hoping I hit the nail on the head for you folks on VI! Oh, I'll be back! This time I'll bring a film crew!

When Wolfburn hit the shelf in New York last year it was very inexpensive. Granted it was barely 3 years old, but this sounds better than new-make and I may have a go if I ever see it. I did pass on Torabhaig for $65. The Wolfburn aurora is very nice and made me wish for a time machine.

[@WhiskyWednesday]

Still haven't even touched Wolfburn. It hasn't peaked my interest, sadly. Torabhaig is pretty good! Was pleased with the sample I managed to get hold of. Ardnamurchan is delicious, highly recommend...if it becomes available.

[@frasermade]

Came here to read/watch up about Ardnamurchan, and found a nice watch too ;)

[@WhiskyWednesday]

Thanks, Gordon! That really means alot!

[@frasermade]

@@WhiskyWednesday how are you finding the B.E. Coniston?

[@WhiskyWednesday]

It's a dream. I was originally going to buy a Hamilton Field, but then stumbled upon the Marloe site. If you pardon the pun, I love a watch with no complications. Simple, easy to set, I love the hand wind feature, the strap wore in very quickly. Perfect watch.

[@frasermade]

@@WhiskyWednesday delighted to hear it.☺️ Thanks for all you do for whisky fans like me! (Your Proper 12 review is top flight) 😄

[@cantbendknee]

I tried a sample of this and loved it. I'm trying to find it at auction for a decent price. I think you could find it for £45 originally.

[@WhiskyWednesday]

The first release was around for £50, I think. Either way, there are alot of bottles of this on auction for that, before fees. Worth a punt!

[@billyhughes9776]

Citrus to green/herbaceous to smoke to milk chocolate? Well now I have to source a bottle, sounds amazing.

[@WhiskyWednesday]

Time to hunt!

[@duffry]

Never mind "tickle of peat", I'm team "sweeter Coal Ila"! :D

[@WhiskyWednesday]

Team 'Sweet Caol Ila' is strong.

[@Shane4Bass]

Would be nice to see it on the shelves of Dan Murphy's in Australia

[@WhiskyWednesday]

Time to email Dan Murphy

[@Piki1809]

I am interested ! very

[@WhiskyWednesday]

Such good stuff. Genuinely impressive.
