Ardnamurchan AD/06.22 Paul Launois 2022 Limited Release Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Colour

Golden amber with honeyed warmth and a subtle copper glow.

Nose

Bright citrus zest and green apple lift the nose, wrapped in vanilla and brioche from the bourbon backbone. Champagne cask influence adds delicate white florals, almond, and a creamy, biscuit-like sweetness, finished with a light coastal mineral lift.

Palate

Powerful yet refined, the palate arrives with bright pear and green apple notes, tempered by rich vanilla and honey from the bourbon maturation. The Champagne cask finish lends brioche, white peach, and a whisper of citrus zest, wrapped in a silky, creamy mouthfeel. Spices kindle the back, with a clean mineral lift and a long, elegant finish.

Finish

Champagne-cask finesse yields a bright, citrus-kissed finish. Zesty peel and brioche carry vanilla cream from the bourbon, while a delicate mineral linger keeps it fresh. A drying, honeyed sweetness slowly fades to a silky, long, confectionery-tinged aftertaste.
