The Ardnamurchan 2017 BR Collective #1: The Pioneers Sherry Hogshead is a single malt whisky distilled in 2017 and matured in a single Sherry Hogshead numbered 374. Bottled in 2023 by the renowned independent bottler Berry Bros & Rudd, this limited edition release features only 302 bottles, each with a robust strength of 59.7% ABV. This expression is presented unfiltered and natural in color, preserving its authentic character. On the nose, it's a vibrant bouquet with intriguing aromas of furniture polish, Maraschino cherries, beech smoke, and pine resin, accompanied by breakfast tea and dark chocolate. A hint of eucalyptus and smoked paprika powder adds to the complexity, with undertones of bacon, dry hay, and barns. The palate reveals two thumbs up for its remarkable viscosity. Flavors of smoky bacon, farmyard, tea leaves, and warm blackcurrants meld seamlessly with notes of cigar boxes, tobacco leaves, grilled pork, and crushed mint leaves. Cocoa powder, cassis, thyme, and a good measure of resin, along with a pinch of black pepper and more herbs, make for a truly dynamic tasting experience. The finish is long and enduring, with lingering notes of dark cocoa, pine wood, and an array of spices. This whisky makes a powerful statement from the young Ardnamurchan distillery, often likened to Brora's baby brother. Ardnamurchan, situated in the wilderness of the same name, is celebrated for its commitment to sustainability, utilizing hydroelectric, solar, and biomass power sourced from its own forestry. This dedication results in a heavily textured, peated-style whisky that promises to be a West Coast classic.
