Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 57.1%

The 2023 release of Ardnamurchan Paul Launois, celebrating the collaboration between the West Highland distillery and one of Champagne's star producers.

This 2023 edition is the third annual release of Ardnamurchan Paul Launois, and as before this is a limited edition small batch affair  - just 2676 bottles at 57.1% - comprised of unpeated Ardnamurchan whisky distilled in 2016 and reracked into ten ex-Paul Launois champagne casks of different char levels, plus one normal ex-bourbon cask from the same vintage for balance. These are always popular releases, so don't hesitate if you want one.

Tasting Notes

Official Tasting Notes

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.
