Tasting Notes
Crafted in 2012 and skillfully matured for a decade, this Ben Nevis single malt whisky unveils a captivating tapestry of flavors. The alluring nose entices with sweet, floral notes intertwined with hints of nutty nougat, spiced honey, and a biscuity malt aroma. Upon savoring the liquid gold, the palate is graced with the delightful taste of sweetly spiced pastries, reminiscent of petal tea, cinnamon buns, and a buttery oak embrace. As the flavors linger, the finish unveils a hint of baklava, a harmonious blend of baking spices, elegant oak, and mellow malt notes. This exquisite spirit, with only 311 bottles released in 2023, showcases the artistry of Murray McDavid, who expertly finished the maturation in a Pauillac wine cask, infusing it with a unique and unforgettable character.
