The Single Malts of Scotland – Ben Nevis Aged 23 Years (Cask 1479)

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Corridors of old wood cabinets polished with linseed oil. The scent of pipe tobacco, oranges, honey and brewer’s yeast fill the air.

Palate: Big, meaty texture expressing a bounty of spices: nutmeg, clove and liqourice. Sweet mint tea and orange curacao is accompanied by a platter of dried fruits — figs, dates and blackcurrants.

Finish: Sweeter on the finish, with an indulgent rum raisin cake and dark toffee frosting.
