Ardnamurchan Paul Launois AD/06.22 Whisky - 57.5% 70cl

Ardnamurchan AD/06.22 Paul Launois is a sequel to the Ardnamurchan AD/04.21.

Just like its predecessor this special edition is a small batch cask strength unpeated Ardnamurchan, the majority of which was reracked into casks that formerly held artisan Mesnil producer Paul Launois's ex-Champagne casks.

Ardnamurchan AD/06.22 is a very limited edition, being the product of eight bourbon barrels reracked into the Paul Launois Champagne casks plus two American Standard Barrels for balance.

Just 2776 bottles of Ardnamurchan AD/06.22 were turned out at a strength of 57.5%.

Ripe pear and apple combined with pastries and vanilla that both fill out and cream up the palate. Pepper and brine are salient on the finish, which seems to be a trademark of the distillate - as is the vivacious tang.
