Ardnamurchan “Heritage Barley” – 59,2%

Ardnamurchan Heritage Barley was made from 100% unpeated malt from the Golden Promise barley variety. It was then matured in bourbon barrels.

Original Tasting Notes:
Nose: Freshly opened milk chocolate digestive biscuits. Glacé cherries, lime cordial, a soft dusting of icing sugar on marzipan, apricot jam. Melted butter with acacia honey on sourdough toast. Salted preserved lemons. A whiff of long grass.

Palate: Chewable, oily mouthfeel. The marzipan theme continues, with sugared almonds. More nuts: salted cashews and subtle pistachios. A gentle, creamy sweetness. Rich orange polenta cake. Baked cooking apples with fizzy lemonade. Peshwari naan filling.

Finish: Oily, luscious and well-balanced. Medium length. Traces of soft orchard fruit, a sweet nuttiness and the last sip of espresso.
