Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: decadent and nutty; cold tea dregs with demerara, burnt brown sugar and building spice; very nutty: beer nuts, candied almonds and maple coated walnuts; mince meat pie right from the oven; cooked raisins, orange peel and clove.

Palate: rich, spicy, nutty and decadent; more candied nuts, demerara tea dregs and mincemeat; the spices are bold and decadent: ginger, nutmeg and clove; more cooked raisins, apple and orange; some creamy-tropical bits underneath; leather and tobacco to boot, but they don't steal the show.

Finish: long and medium in weight; more rich sherry notes: leather, candied nuts, cooked fruits and spices with late tobacco.

Comment: this is a lovely Ben Nevis, not quite as nutty and leathery as the 30th Anniversary, but lovely none the less; very good value for a sherry cask whisky of this style.
