A wonderful fruity dram with just a hint of smoke.
-
Loved it, I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected to. I'll be getting more
-
Not bad, has depth. Tastes best straight up.
-
This whisky isn’t the best but the price, it’s excellent. Great taste, full of flavour and fairly smooth. Definitely better than any supermarket equivalent you’d find.
-
Fully deserving of its many accolades. A beautiful dram!
-
Great whisky! I recommend it.
-
Aside from the increasingly daft tasting notes of today's whisky reviewers (" lots of tropical fruit, and hints of coffee and dark chocolate" - sorry, but no.) this is a nice semi-smokey, full flavoured and smooth malt which is a good middle ground before reaching the peaty stuff.
-
This whisky is very good. I am positively suprised. I recommend it.
-
it is a pleasure !
-
Lots of tropical fruit for sure. I get mango/papaya and pineapple. A hint of smoke. Nice fruitiness and good oaky/tannic influence. Really pretty nice for the price and age.
-
Wonderful whisky. Really, REALLY need to catch a breath, and quite a long one. My experience is at least 15 minutes. Then the initially boring whisky just blooms with fruity and flowery tastes.
-
Great for the price - really smooth, but full of flavour
-
Not bad....but a bit too dry and wood dominated for me.
-
Took the distillery tour a week ago and after sampling I bought a bottle. Good scotch for the price.
-
Bought a bottle last week after a tour of the distillery. Very impressive whisky with a distinctive flavour.
-
The best original bottling single malt under 18 years I've had. Double the price, and it would still be a bargain.
-
Purchased at the Ben Nevis distillery whilst visiting the west coast on a touring holiday, my first attempt at a single malt, loved it, I now need another bottle just hope I can find it down south.
-
Wow! great whiskey, great price. I'm tasting coffee, vanilla and yes agree with the sherry
-
Seeing that it's bottled at 46% ABV, is it non-chill-filtered?
-
Tried this at the whisky experience in edinburg a couple of years ago and loved it, although I couldn't remember why. Bought a bottle from the WE a couple of months ago and although I was a bit underwhelmed at first, it's really grown on me. I think now it's mixed with the air in the bottle a bit, the flavour's developed a bit. Has a very full flavour and a great mouth feel. Not sure if it's been matured in a sherry cask but certainly getting some of that coming through.
