Sometimes a whisky proves that age is far from everything. If you were to taste this whisky blind, you would probably never guess that it is only eight years old. This blended malt, composed of Chichibu and Ardnamurchan whiskies and bottled at a robust 56.4% ABV, demonstrates just how much character and complexity a young whisky can possess. This eight-year-old blended malt is an excellent example of how quality can be more important than age. The combination of the fruity character of Chichibu and the subtle smoke of Ardnamurchan results in a whisky with surprising depth and balance. Young on paper, but mature in the glass – a bottling you would undoubtedly estimate to be older during a blind tasting.

The first impression is fresh and lively. A subtle smoky note forms the background without dominating, while vanilla provides a soft sweetness. Beneath this, earthy notes of slightly damp forest floor emerge, combined with the fresh scent of apple. An inviting and beautifully balanced nose.

On the palate, the whisky is powerful yet surprisingly accessible. Sweet vanilla predominates, followed by spicy notes of anise that provide extra depth. The light smoke remains elegantly present and supports the other flavors without demanding attention.

The finish is medium to long and lingers beautifully. The earthy notes of wet soil return, along with subtle smoke and a persistent vanilla sweetness. A harmonious conclusion that perfectly underscores the character of this whisky.

https://whiskylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2025/02/10/cywl-ardnamurchan-in-2025/ Have I had this before? Indeed, the 2023 release [WLP85] – batch unknown. We are now up to batch seven. N: Imagine the [inaugural] AD/10 with [50%] peated spirit, except the peated spirit in question is from Chichibu. T: Consisting of Ardnamurchan from its first year of production, the Ardnamurchan is easy to spot since we just tried it. The Chichibu offers a peated cushion though does it add any more than subsequent 10yo releases from Ardnamurchan [which will include in-house peated & unpeated spirit], especially when you consider this one’s £130/€190 price tag by comparison? F: The Chichibu’s slightly sulphurous note [in a good way], partly answers my previous question. Additionally, there’s a mouthfeel unique to this partnership. C: Technically good, very tasty, but slightly unmoving [for the price].
