I have heard much of the Paul Launois release, but could never get hold of this. Then I spotted the last few on Spirit embassy and managed to get hold one They delivered within 2 days. Excellent service and delivery.

The whisky has the Ardnamurchan profile of sweet and salty, but this finish in the champagne cask adds a sweeter berry and slightly zesty touch to the already mature spirit. I believe this is closer to 10 year old this time. It's strong, so a drop of water really smooths it out. It's a great dram and I'm enjoying this one, so I'd buy again if the opportunity comes.
