Ardnamurchan – AD/10:22 Madeira Cask (70cl, 58.2%)

Ardnamurchan AD/10:22 is a Highland single malt finished in Madeira, in a 70cl bottle at 58.2%. Unlike the distillery's usual half-peated, half-unpeated make, this one uses entirely unpeated spirit. It spent several years in ex-bourbon casks before moving to ex-Madeira hogsheads. It was bottled without colouring or filtration as a limited edition. The nose brings burnt caramel and honey-coated dates, with hints of bitter walnut oil and blood orange marmalade. The palate has jasmine tea, panna cotta, waxy honey and subtle red fruit, with tobacco leaf and spice later on. The finish is long, with tobacco leaf and spice.
