Sherry dominates at first, but the distillate gradually emerges amid chocolate, coffee, leather and pipe tobacco, leading to a thick, complex palate.
A sharp, earthy Ben Nevis with apple vinegar, manzanilla, mezcal, chalk, oysters and a very long, bitter, peppery, waxy finish.
Metallic and austere, it develops from hay, grass and engine oil into peaches, mangoes and peppered oysters, ending long, herbaceous and distinctly salty.
Exotic fruits arrive straight away on the palate, followed by ashes, oils, seaweed and waxes, with maritime pepper, salt and a touch of bitterness lingering.
A slightly firmer, greener Ben Nevis, with added waxiness balancing bright citrus, mineral notes, vanilla yoghurt and a long, leafy finish.
A focused profile of acidic, tropical fruit balances chalky, oily notes in a beautiful sweet-and-sour combination.
A robust, waxy Ben Nevis with jammy yellow fruits, ginger and mineral notes, finishing on mildly bitter leaves and earthy cinnamon.
A classic Ben Nevis profile with tropical fruitiness and good complexity, though less stellar than other vintages.
A very nice fruity core of tangerines, peaches, mango and pineapple, balanced by typical chalky, waxy and mineral notes.
A delicious, oily whisky with ripe peach, pineapple and grapefruit, balanced by waxy notes, citrus zest and a pleasant yeasty austerity.
A very solid Ben Nevis, balancing a pronounced green and leafy character with a good dose of fruity notes.
A funky, intellectual whisky with earthy walnuts, tobacco and mustard, balanced by marmalade, tropical fruit and intriguing Amontillado notes.
A malt monster with immense barley, dark chocolate, dried fruit and spice, this chewy Ben Nevis finishes very long and dry.
