Ardnamurchan North Star Obscurities & Curiosities Single Malt Scotch Whisky 6 Year Old · 2016 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with radiant copper-gold highlights and a velvety mahogany edge, hinting at sherry-cask maturity.

Nose

Bright, aromatic perfume of ruby-red berries, orange zest and lemon peel, evolving into toasted almond, vanilla pod and honey. A deft sherry cloak brings dried fig, chocolate and spice, while a saline, coastal whisper threads through, adding a faint smoky lift.

Palate

Opulent and bold on the palate, this 6-year Ardnamurchan delivers sherried richness: dark fruit syrup, raisins and fig, wrapped in cocoa and toffee with roasted coffee. Spices bloom—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—alongside toasted oak and a whisper of maritime salt. Full-bodied and velvety at 55.4%, finishing long with warm spice, cocoa, and a lingering fruit sweetness.

Finish

A long, sherried finish lingers with dark cherry and raisin fruit, cocoa and spiced oak. The warmth broadens into espresso, toasted almond, and a whisper of maritime salt, fading to a refined, lingering glow.
