Молодой виски с выраженной фруктово-цитрусовой и медово-ванильной основой, лёгким торфяным дымом и солёно-минеральными нотами; неоднократно отмечают его зрелость и баланс для своего возраста. Восприятие неоднородно: часть отзывов указывает на заметную молодость, спиртуозность и дисбаланс.
развернуть подробно
В носовых описаниях чаще всего фигурируют цитрусовые (лимон, лайм, апельсиновая цедра, грейпфрут), зелёные и спелые яблоки, груша, персик и другие косточковые, а также мёд, ваниль, карамель и травянисто-сенные оттенки. Несколько отзывов упоминают лёгкий торфяной дым, солёность, минеральность, йод, воск и цветочные ноты. Во вкусе описывают кремовую и маслянистую текстуру, сладость в сочетании с дымом и йодом, цитрусовые и косточковые фрукты, специи, перец, солод и дуб; в финише — от среднего до длинного, с цитрусами, дымом, мёдом, солёной карамелью, перцем и древесными нотами. Ряд отзывов прямо называют виски молодым, но при этом отмечают хороший баланс, глубину и то, что он «выглядит старше» своего возраста.
Вместе с тем оценки и впечатления расходятся. Часть отзывов указывает на очевидную молодость, спиртовую резкость, преобладание свежего и простого дерева, горькие танины, а также на то, что аромат интереснее вкуса, а после открытия бутылки баланс становится плоским. Некоторые считают виски одномерным или менее сложным, чем ожидалось, и говорят, что ему нужно ещё несколько лет. Несколько отзывов положительно сравнивают его с первым релизом, отмечая больший баланс и округлость, а также хорошее соотношение цены и качества.

| Нос | 84 | Solvent, white spirit and a mild, gentle smoke in the background. A clear floral tone and citrus fruits. The alcohol is strong on the nose. Some cereal and green apples after a little while. Very interesting nose for such a young whisky. |
| Вкус | 85 | The smoke and peat is direct. A sweetness in combination with iodine smoke. Young. Citrus fruits, overripe apples and a mild, sweet licorice. Some vanilla sweetness in the background. |
| Финиш | 84 | Understandably short since it is such a young whisky. Citrus and smoke, a sweetness that is pleasant. |
Direct comparison with AD / 04.21: 03 which is much drier and less supple (85 pt.).

I’ve satisfied my curiosity about this new distillery finding a bottle of their second “dated” expression, for a quite reasonable price on the ordinary retail market. The first impression has been quite impressive for a very young malt. It’s all about the balance: between peated and unpeated cask, between sherry and oak, floral and fruity notes with a very clean and thin mouthfeel and none of its elements clearly predominant. After a subtle nose with vanilla, fruits and fresh grass, at first taste some nearly balsamic flavors stand out immediately, with aromatic herbs and (mostly) juniper, echoing also on the not very long finish, of course justified by the young age. After the bottle has been opened for a while, the overall balance became a bit flat, especially on the palate, upon which the surprising herbal noted soon fade, replaced by just a bit of obvious alcohol harshness. Anyway, taking this as an early “beta” release from this new distillery, it already shows much of an interesting, well crafted and not so ordinary profile, that enhances the interest for what’s yet to come from it.

This Whisky is different from others and very very interesting. If I had to describe it with three words, they would be 'floral, incense and heather'. This is what remains in memory if I had to describe this bottle. Now I would just love to know what the first bottling is like.

| Нос | 90 | A distinct floral nose, hint of citrus and sour apple but there are also flavours of cloves, incense and incense candles with christmas scent. It's a bit like entering a monastery. |
| Вкус | 87 | First very restrained but then warm ash and increasing smoke aromas in interaction with honey and sweet notes. |
| Финиш | 87 | Wow, there's a punch of significant heather! It's also little metallic, warming and goes quickly again with incense. |

Good malt, I look forward to trying more mature releases
A slightly less well-known new distillery.
Regular issue price on January 30th, 2021: ~ 45.00 GBP (e.g. https://www.royalmilewhiskies.com/ardnamurchan-ad-01-21-01-single-malt-46-8-70cl/)

Very decent, pleasantly drinkable whisky, definitely worth the price
Just so balanced, with depth & interest, a joy!
Despite "just" 46,8% it takes water really well. I prefer it just when gone cloudy. Young whisky, yes indeed. But a really solid distillate treated well, good things happen. For a young whisky a lot is going on.

A rock solid 86 for me! Light citrus, malt, vanilla, gentle smoke, bag of spices, some minerality, gentle woodiness. A wonderful whisky in itself, and a tremendous achievement for a 5-6 years old whisky! In my opinion, when this reaches the 10-12 years of age, Talisker can close the shop! With their pricing, quality, etc. Sorry Diageo, your era is slowly but surely coming to an end on all fronts - new better/honest distilleries: Ardnahoe, Raasay, Torabhaig, Ardnamurchan (and many more), your ridiculous pricing strategy (hashtag greediness), continuous drops in quality, pathetic marketing, dishonesty towards customers, frequent NAS releases, youtube influencers increasingly tearing your reputation apart, you name it...

I am always favorably disposed towards new distilleries and young bottlings, but here I had hoped for one or two more points. I won the bottle at auction from Krüger for about 33 euros, and at that price I don't want to complain. Overall, there is too much fresh and simple wood, which is masked by overly clumsy sherry aromas. Perhaps the whisky simply needs to rest in the bottle for another 15-20 years before it becomes truly smooth and mellow.

| Нос | 85 | The nose is rather tart, vinous and spicy, with only slight peaty notes in the background, and these are more burnt than maritime. It's not bad, but it's not really exciting or intricate either. Currants, tannins, a hint of burnt bacon with a salty aroma. |
| Вкус | 85 | 84.5 The palate is sweet, smoky, with some BBQ, then a simple PX sweetness of dried plums and cherry licorice. Tasty, but lacking in distillate or authenticity. |
| Финиш | 84 | The mouthfeel is dense, intense, and slightly alcoholic, harsh. Little harmony or smoothness. Pronounced wood in the background, bitter tannins. The aftertaste is medium-long, but mainly because the alcohol is still very present. |

Good, but not quite as good as Raasay’s first release. There’s more spirit fruit, and a slightly better texture, but a bit less complexity overall and it’s subtler. It also has more of that young floral/banana character which I don’t particularly like, and a shorter finish.

I am very impressed with the second official bottling. The first one still had an imbalance for me that I would not have expected from Ardnamurchan. The second release has everything I expect from a young whisky that is supposed to show the distillery character.

| Нос | 87 | Boy nose. Slightly dirty with honey notes. Obvious smoke. Citrus fruits, lemon zest, bread dough, sourdough, yeast, cereals. Becomes more and more harmonious with a little time. I don't find the sherry content of allegedly 35%, it should have been 2nd or 3rd fill. Green apple, leafy vegetables and mineral notes. |
| Вкус | 90 | Clear peat and sweetness. I really like it. Much rounder than the first bottling. Not very complex, it gains strength over time and then also shows fruity notes of citrus and ripe apples and pears. |
| Финиш | 86 | Medium length, round and very pleasant. Peat and sweetness stop nicely. |

On the nose, this malt is surprisingly complex and mature for its age and offers a great interplay between the two cask types used. The smoke is very nicely integrated and contributes positively to the complexity without overpowering the other aromas. In the mouth, unfortunately, he can't quite keep up with the great nose. The tart/bitter notes on the tongue are a bit too dominant for my taste. https://www.aboutwhisky.de/tastingnotes/ardnamurchan-ad-01-2101/
The quality of the casks this spirit has been put in shines through. I usually steer well clear of peated whisky, but as my taste has developed, I'm drawn more to scotch with 'a kiss of smoke'. This is a very high quality, young example of exactly that. It is velvety smooth, but with a lovely smoky - sweet taste. On the nose, there's definitely a bit of mint / menthol going on. Cut grass and that lovely smoky butterscotch you get with, for eg, Talisker. It tastes fabulous and for folks just dipping their toe in peated scotch (as I am) this is a fabulous place to start. I live in BC, Canada and was amazed to find this for sub $70CAD in bcliquor. I only knew about this distillery because of Ralfy, who's mentioned it on a couple of his Xtras videos on you tube. Highly recommended!
A promising start. I will stick with it and try an Ardnamurchan every now and then.

An obviously quite young whisky, offers a little more variety than expected because of the smoke. Not bad, not stand out from the crowd.
The second release consists of half smoky and half nonsmoking spirit, which matured in both bourbon (65%) and sherry barrels (35%).

S 7 Need some age to smoothen the nose and get that sherry in place. Nonetheless, the mix & match of barley and cask did bring more complexity to the whisky.
