Product Description
Our AD/ Paul Launois Release is an unpeated spirit of ten bourbon barrels finished in French Oak Paul Launois champagne casks.
Nose: Tangy orange icing, rum and raisin ice-cream and salted caramel. Lemon curd, orange blossom, pencil shavings, wine gums and Sauternes. Gentle waft of lemon thyme and powdered lemonade
Palate: Rich, dry wood character up front with macadamia nut, citric acidity from nose still coming through. Nutmeg, peach, crème de cacao, sharp vanilla and light Szechuan peppercorn tickling the palate
Finish: Dry up front, shifting to moderately lush fruity mid-palate with zippy acidity on the finish.
Like all our whiskies this AD/ Paul Launois Release is un-chill filtered and natural colour.
700mL, 57.4% ABV.

Ardnamurchan Paul Launois
I’d been waiting to try this bottle, and while I wouldn’t say it was disappointing, I certainly wasn’t overly impressed with it. The initial “neck pour” was underwhelming. To me, I got figs from it, which I’m not a fan of. Subsequent pours definitely improved, especially after letting it rest in the glass. Peppery, dried fruits. It was actually fairly nice. A bit of water or even a small ice cube in it while sitting on the back deck was pretty good, there’s definitely sufficient ABV to handle it. While I’m a firm believer in no such thing as bad whisky, there’s certainly whisky that I don’t need to buy again. This, unfortunately, is one of those.
