Beautiful forest and fruity aromas: dates, figs, berries, ferns, but the peat quickly takes over and pervades everything. It's thick, grassy, a bit earthy, wet dog. This balances out, clearing and bark, becoming rocky, but overall quite vegetal. A hint of lemon zest. The palate is very oily, walnut oil, it's mellow, sweet, molasses, liquid honey, beaten eggs, a touch of wood, discreet spices, white pepper. The finish develops slowly, becoming powerful. Bark, vines, roasted chestnuts, cork oak, traces of charcoal and licorice, warm caramel. It gives a Ben Nevis full of character, but lacking complexity, especially on the nose. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2026/08/ben-nevis-2019-100-proof-edition-75-7-yo.html

Strong smoke, strong alcohol, intense in aroma and taste, very young hooligan, simple. The aroma is dominated by smoke that covers everything, the taste combines the sweet fruity juiciness of the distillate with the smoke that dominates, in the aftertaste the youth wins and finally the sharpness of the alcohol. The Oloroso of the second filling is almost not noticeable. Cheap, simple whisky. Only dry smoke remains in the empty Glencairn. A level higher is the Ben Nevis 2012 from Decadent Dramms, which after 8 years in bourbon added 5 years of maturation in the first filling of oloroso (WB279743). A completely different face of Ben Nevis :)

A young punchy Ben Nevis, showing off the best of the distilled character. Fresh apple, green pears, banana, pickled vinegar, honey, peppery, slight salty. Most enjoyable. The barley type signature comes through nicely.
