Ardnamurchan AD is a diverse Highland whisky with a rich array of tasting notes. It showcases a fresh and vibrant profile with tropical fruit notes like peach, banana, and star fruit alongside citrus, vanilla, and ginger. The whisky also presents elements of chocolate, maltiness, spicy peat, and Sherry sweetness. With its non-chill filtered, natural color approach, Ardnamurchan AD offers a well-balanced, complex experience that is both engaging and rewarding. The range of casks used adds depth and variety to the flavor profile, making it a whisky worth exploring.

The Pete on this is exquisite. It's not ashy, it's like a combination of wood and heather. At $90, the bottle is a bargain.

Lovely chocolatey maltiness on the nose with a prominent spicy peat. I'm really pleased to say it's surprisingly affordable and available.

The nose is full flavored, with a lot going on, rich deep maltiness, toasted maltiness, nutty maltiness, complex maltiness, loads of background spices. It's a genuinely exciting distillery and a very worthy winner.

Light fruitiness as well. Very good.

Very fruity right off the bat like tropical yellow fruits, pears, peaches, Asian star fruit, loads of banana in here, maybe some yellow apples. When you consider the quality and the fact that they just don't have older stuff to sell us, and also comparatively, if you look at a lot of other sort of work in progress type whiskies, a lot of them can come off undercooked and not market ready, and that's definitely not the case here.

On the nose, it's very coastal with lemon, waxy notes, sea air, saltiness, and a hint of peat. I think Ardnamurchan is a very good value for the money.

This is old school gutsy bonfire steam engines, cold stoves type of whisky, a yesteryear single malt which has been wonderfully presented by people who seriously know what they're doing.

Wow this is different... | Ardnamurchan AD/04.21.03 (April 2021)
Art and American is just a really cool distillery. They're already carving out a great house style, putting out killer whiskies, and that's only like six or seven years after distillation started.
