#abbeywhisky Tweet Tasting

By Miguel in Tasting , Bunnahabhain , Glendronach , Ben Nevis , Caperdonich

Just two days ago it happened to me one of the strangest things I have done lately. I was doing with Steve Rush and other whisky chaps the #abbeywhisky Tweet tasting and then I tasted the #4 sample and definitively I knew I needed it.

Ben Nevis 10 years old Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , Ben Nevis
85
Ben Nevis 10 year
1996 saw the release of the entry level Ben Nevis single malt, this 10 year old exudes some beautiful coffee, chocolate and toffeed peat notes, a firm representative of the Western Highland style.

This dram has a white-like color.

Nose (88): inexistent. sweet, fruits, wood, smoke, sherry. First nosing data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Palate (84): . sweet, citrus, wood, floral, spicy, some peat. Bouquet data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Finish (84): no finish. floral, liquorice, citrus, a little wood. Finish length is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Ben Nevis 10 year with 85 points over 100.
