Ben Nevis The Single Malts of Scotland 1996 23 Years Single Malt Whisky

Ah, this whisky's got a right lovely honey sweetness with a smoky backbone. Vanilla pops up, and there's a bit of spice on the tongue. Fruity notes too, like apples and pears. 🍯🔥🍎 Quite smooth and warming, innit? Sumtimes a hint of oakiness. Perfect for a rainy evening. 🥃

Right then, had a proper dram last night... 🍊 Straight off, it’s all marmalade and a bit of sweeted vanilla on the nose. 🔥 Palate-wise, get some spiced oak and a hint of honey, but then a dry, nutty sorta thing kicks in. Finish is medium-long, with a curious lychee note that kinda lingers... quite morish, really. 👍 Would say it’s a bit charred on the edges, but in a good way. Noice for a slow sipper.
