Молодой торфяной Ardnamurchan из хересных бочек: солёно-дымный профиль с сухофруктами и тёмным шоколадом, у части дегустаторов вызывает ассоциации с Ardbeg. Оценки ровные (86–90), явных провалов почти нет.
развернуть подробно
В аромате сочетаются торфяной дым, копчёное мясо и солёный арахис с тёмным шоколадом, солёной карамелью и обильной солью, а фруктовую основу дают чернослив, изюм, сушёный инжир и красные ягоды; встречаются ноты тёмного мармелада, тёмных пряностей, костра, обугленного дерева и барбекю. Вкус маслянистый и плотный, с сухим торфом, сухофруктами, шоколадом, дымом, имбирём и какао; спирт у молодого пятилетнего виски интегрирован на удивление хорошо и не выпирает. Послевкусие среднее или длинное, сухое и пряное, с перцем, какао, копчёными нотами и остаточной солью, часто раскрывается лучше со второй порцией и с водой.
Опытные дегустаторы оценивают напиток сдержаннее (84–87): одного торф почти не тронул, он отметил приятную сбалансированность, маслянистость и лёгкую кислинку в конце как единственный изъян, другой дал развёрнутый солёно-хересный профиль на те же 87. Менее авторитетные авторы заметно щедрее — вплоть до 88–90, с восторгами о сложности, ассоциациями с Ardbeg и обилием чайно-землистых, грибных и жжёно-древесных дескрипторов. Расхождения невелики и в основном касаются выраженности торфа и хересного влияния (кому-то оно кажется умеренным и уместным); заметно выбиваются лишь единичные низкие оценки — 72 за плоский хересный профиль, 80 за молодость и «моторное масло» и один образец, по-видимому испорченный пластиком. В целом согласованность высокая, консенсус — крепкий, хорошо сделанный молодой виски без выдающегося пика.

I struggled to pick out the peat notes in this one, but was rewarded with a well balanced dram that I could happily sup on - there was a slightly acidic note at the death, but I could probably live with that. Well worth trying.

I struggled to pick out much on the nose - there is a bit of marmalade - a dark citrus note - and a note that reminded me of Chinese all spice - quite dark spice notes. |
| Вкус |

The mouthfeel is good with a slight oiliness to it - there is a decent flavour - some drak fruit and spices with the alcohol only really noticeable right at the death - the one duff note is a slight acidity that creeps in right at the end. |

Medium finish with a nice oily note, a little hit of pepper, but that slightly acidic note right at the death. |

Ardnamurchan, independently bottled by the owner of the distillery, the independent bottler Adelphi. A peated and unpeated 1st fill Oloroso butt were blended for the bottling. The whisky is five years old and has a beautiful dark golden amber color. The whisky was bottled in partnership with Charles MacLean (the same one!) and Alex Bruce (Managing Director of the distillery). glen-efze.de

This is the second time in a week that a peated Ardnamurchan has reminded me of Ardbeg. As an Ardbeg lover, this is, of course, very nice.

Even at first sniff, this young Ardnamurchan exudes a rich aroma of cooked jam, which immediately combines with the typical Ardnamurchan smoke. The alcohol is perfectly integrated so that it does not overpower the other aromas. This is accompanied by delicate notes of barbecue charcoal and a pleasant malty sweetness. Fresh raspberries and sweet cherries give the bouquet a fruity depth, while a hint of colorful pepper provides an exciting spice. |
| Вкус |

The fruity intensity continues on the palate with notes of red fruit compote and fruit jelly. The alcohol remains pleasantly unobtrusive and harmonizes perfectly with the rest of the aromas. A hint of chimney soot brings a smoky dimension into play that fills the entire mouth. A complex mixture of spices unfolds, giving the whisky additional depth and character. |

The finish is dry and very spicy, giving the whisky a long-lasting and distinctive note. Hints of burnt grill grates and flaming charcoal provide a rustic, astringent quality. The fruity notes of the red fruits gradually fade away, while the spicy and smoky elements dominate the final impression. |

Grassy, nutty, young. Medium peat, slightly cheesy. Nice sherry influence, not overbearing. It's ok.
