Ben Nevis 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml Bottle

Needs a teaspoon or 2 of water to open up a piece. Tropical natural product notes

Nose: Rich sleek malt extricate a little trace of oak treacle toffee some lemon oil dried orange skin and plum with a smidgen of clove. Immense substantial and sweat-soaked - it's an oat nose however not light toasted grains or sugary oat - this is large broad and increasingly like porridge with treacle and margarine. It's suggestive of Hazelburn. As it rests in the glass it increases mineral and salt notes. Including water opens fragrances of newly pressed squeezed orange grain sugar melon and feed. There is a sulfurous tinge however it's the acceptable kind of sulfur that includes body yet not hostile fragrances. The dry glass scents of malt and soot. Sense of taste: A major firm malty appearance with thick oaky tannins along the edge. The surface is as sleek as a flame broiled kipper. The advancement draws out some mellow espresso dull severe chocolate singed almonds and a nearly rancio pecan oil note. Adjusting this is a fiery substantial pleasantness like blackstrap molasses. Some semi-sweet dried organic products (like dried kumquats or protected lemon) offer dryness to the sense of taste. The expansion of water absolutely changes the sense of taste by relaxing and bringing out substantially more delicate sugary pleasantness and milk chocolate. Finish: Long. At first the sense of taste flavors begin to decrease at that point as the power subsides you sense unobtrusive delayed flavor impressions of tobacco unpleasant orange and black out salt water. Including water abbreviates the completion marginally yet not the slightest bit decreases it's character. A brilliant drawing in and compensating malt that should be experienced both perfect and with a half-teaspoon of water. For what reason is this very little better known? Tragically it's elusive now yet I firmly suggest getting a jug in the event that you can find one. Admirers of anything Campbeltown West Coast or Hebridean will take to this in a moment. NOTE: The jug appeared on Distiller for this whisky is from the old packaging. Ben Nevis presented another container shape and name several years prior and groups since that time have been reliably better than the old articulations. The new jug is increasingly squat and the name includes a huge sparkly red 10". "Superb" : 4.5 stars."
