Following the tremendous success of Ardnamurchan's inaugural release, the Ardnamurchan AD 04:21 Paul Launois Release is a distinguished limited edition. Bottled in 2021, this Highland whisky is named to reflect its bottling month and year. Produced by Ardnamurchan, the first Scottish distillery to leverage blockchain technology for an incorruptible supply chain ledger, this release is meticulously crafted to transparency and sustainability. The ledger, accessible via a QR code on the bottle, provides a comprehensive, traceable journey from field to bottle. This remote distillery operates on a local circular economy, using hydroelectric power and wood chips from nearby sustainable sources. Finished in 195-litre barriques from Domaine Paul Launois Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger, this release yields a mere 2,576 bottles, each carrying an ABV of 57.6%. As a result, Ardnamurchan AD 04:21 embodies both the robust character of the distillery and the nuanced elegance of Paul Launois barrels. On the nose, it opens with surprising notes, merging intense smokiness and dominant alcohol with citrus, wet sawdust, and a hint of mineral reminiscent of a ripe Riesling. Adding water reveals floral notes, grass, green peppers, and Sancerre, balancing the aroma with sweetness. The palate is strong and hot initially but opens to reveal a finely matured young whisky with a lingering bitterness. The finish is short to medium, featuring cold smoke and subtle spices.
