1996 saw the release of the entry level Ben Nevis single malt, this 10 year old exudes some beautiful coffee, chocolate and toffeed peat notes, this Ben Nevis is a firm representative of the Western Highland style.
A truly great malt. 9/10' Jim Murray in Whisky Magazine, Sept 2000
Nose: Relatively fresh and dry. There is a supple greenness with soft leafy notes as well as a rich fruitiness. Also present is hints of orange and delicious Seville marmalade.
Palate: Gentle dryness. Toffee and solid peat notes with a bitter sweetness.
Finish: Silken, yet more toffee and caramel notes which are nicely balanced out with a touch of mochaccino and dark chocolate on the tail.
A massive malt that has steadied itself in recent bottlings, but keep those knives and forks to hand!
