Malt Box Whisky Review 193 - Ardnamurchan AD/

[@rupertansell4662]

I really like this whisky and agree with your review 👍

[@allanwhittle3041]

Agreed on all fronts Yes Arden is good gear and Iike you bit by bit I’m also migrating away from peat to a lighter style . Great channel 👍

Booths supermarket have started stocking this. Fantastic whisky.

[@MaltBoxWhisky]

Booths is just the best

[@jezhellewell7690]

@@MaltBoxWhisky it really is. Currently have Ledaig 10 & Deanston 12, both around the £33 mark.

Ardnamurchan is doing things right. I have some early single casks that showed early on what they were making. Wonderful Whisky

[@paulm749]

Haven't seen this at any of the local retailers yet, but what you describe sounds like a very good younger whisky. When carefully crafted, younger whisky can have bright, lively flavor notes that make them an interesting contrast to older spirits. Good review!

Excellent,as always,Andy !

Informative review as ever, never tasted this one but will consider, have just finished a Clynlish 14 which I must say was very enjoyable. Discovered your channel back several months ago and look forward to every alert of a new review posting keep up the good work 👏

[@MaltBoxWhisky]

Thanks for watching Aaron! Love a Clynelish 14. Lovely stuff indeed and a staple in this house

[@groberti]

It really shows what a superb quality scotch can do. Many more expensive 12 year olds should envy this younger expression

[@DavidUKesb]

No peat present for me, but lovely whisky nonetheless.

[@kellywellington7122]

I have a bottle marked just as yours. I must say I cannot detect any peat smoke at all. To me, I get fresh sun dried linens, or bedsheets. Honey. Vanilla biscuits. Under-ripe pear. There is also an unidentified 'funkiness', like a warm body. Phermones? So, almost erotic. I could understand if somebody else suggested 'dirty laundry'. I assume that is the malt. I avoid the heavies entirely and keep my peated needs to the likes of Benromach, both 10 and 15, but preferably the latter. The Ardnamuchan is okay, but I was more pleased with the Old Pulteney 12 I picked up later.

I’ve been dipping into this bottle on and off for a month now and I’m still struggling to connect with it. I can tell there’s something good in there but it’s still spirity and hot to my palate. I’m going to leave for a month or two to see if it opens up and relaxes a bit more. Maybe I’m just not quite ready for it.

[@matthewedgeworth4509]

Nice review buddy, only Ardnamurchan I've had so far has been a Luvians single cask sample actually, which was quite wonderful. I've wanted to try more, but somewhat similar to Waterford the sheer volume of different releases has been a bit much. Not to mention the problems even getting hold of them. Glad that they have finally now turned towards a core single malt out of their different batches (like Dingle too). Sounds like a lovely drop, I'll have to look towards grabbing a bottle. Lot of wonderful new distilleries in Scotland and Ireland showing what quality young spirit can do.

[@jennykarlsson3655]

Hey Andy. Chuffed you got hold of a bottle 🤓 The core AD/ is now much easier to find on shelves around the world which I think is great. Means I can tell my non whisky geek friends to go and buy a bottle without any hassle. 🥃🌾

[@WhiskyLoversSociety]

Nice review

[@unmarkeddoor8187]

The way this video comes off, the whisky is so good, you're a bit angry with it.

[@MaltBoxWhisky]

It's a very good whisky!

[@heartbroken522]

the AD 02/22 one is 8 yrs old

[@MaltBoxWhisky]

Nice one, haven't had the pleasure but hopefully one day. This is the 04/22

[@bobdobolinaa]

The AD/ or ADCB 042202 is a 2015/2016 vintage. Scan the QR code on the back of the bottle for complet transparancy of it's content. I have bottle 856/25200.
