The Ardnamurchan 2019 AD Limited Release #04 is the fourth limited edition from the Ardnamurchan Distillery, with AD standing for Ardnamurchan Distillery and Anno Domini. This remarkable whisky has been meticulously matured in first-fill ex-sherry casks, comprising two butts, six hogsheads, and 21 octaves made from both American and Spanish oak that previously held Oloroso and PX sherry. Bottled in October 2019, this release boasts a formidable cask strength of 57.4% ABV, ensuring a robust and full-bodied experience. With only 5100 bottles available, this limited edition is a treasure for any whisky enthusiast. Embracing modern technology, each bottle features a VR code that, when scanned, provides detailed information about the bottling via blockchain technology. This innovative feature highlights the forward-thinking approach of the whisky industry. The Ardnamurchan Distillery, named after the peninsula in the Western Highlands, is a new Highland Sustainability Distillery owned by Independent Bottler Adelphi, and opened its doors in 2014. Despite its young age of 2 years, this spirit delivers a complex and rich profile that rivals more mature whiskies. On the nose, expect delightful aromas of raisins, milk chocolate, Mon Chéri, and a light touch of mineral peat, with zero alcohol burn. Adding water reveals a fruity note, always enveloped in chocolate, and a hint of powdered sugar. The palate tingles with great licorice, slight tannins, and chocolate-covered cherries. With water, the alcohol mellows, allowing the flavors to shine through. The finish is long, dominated by chocolate and licorice, making it a truly memorable dram.
