Ardnamurchan Sherry Cask

Ardnamurchan Sherry Cask Release (50%, OB 2024)

The Sherry Cask Release combines the complex flavours of a mix of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso Sherry butts, and coastal peat smoke spirit.

Nose: Murray mint, bonfire on the beach, salted peanut ice-cream, tomato stalks, Brazil nut, sundried tomatoes, teriyaki beef jerky, relish and tamari. Unctuous.

Palate: Tarry rope, bung cloth, smoky bacon, old tractor shed, peanut brittle, sticky spare-ribs. Red plum and cherry, then shifts to chalk cliff and meaty traits above on later half.

Finish: Crashing waves, sea-salt, bothy fireplace and cigar shop.
