Отзывы описывают сложный, маслянистый виски с нотами мёда, жареного миндаля, молочного шоколада, цитрусовых и характерным влиянием Fino sherry. Многие отмечают, что он требует времени в бокале и раскрывается с воздухом.
развернуть подробно
В носовых описаниях преобладают лесной мёд, жареный миндаль, молочный шоколад, карамель, сливочные и дрожжевые тона, а также ореховый крем и фрукты вроде персиков и жёлтых яблок. Несколько отзывов отдельно выделяют винную, белую виноградную и Fino sherry составляющую, иногда с нотками сена, грибов и соевого соуса. Вкус описывается как маслянистый, полнотелый и интенсивный, с карамелью, ирисом, какао, специями, имбирём, марципаном и лёгкой кислинкой цитрусовых; встречаются упоминания солёности, дымного оттенка и «фермерской» нотки. Финиш в большинстве отзывов средний или длинный, с тёмным шоколадом, орехами, кофе, дубом, сухостью и пряностью.
Несколько отзывов подчёркивают, что виски требует воздуха и времени в бокале, а также хорошо переносит добавление воды. Часть отзывов отмечает, что крепость ощущается мягче, чем заявленные 55,7%. В целом тексты описывают его как сложный, «олдскульный» и не перегруженный шерри, хотя отдельные отзывы указывают на доминирование белого вина и сухих, кислых нот как на менее желательные для них.

I smelled a first nose - absolute delight. Fragrances of forest honey, roasted almonds, Bavarian creme and warm caramel cake . On the palate very gentle regarding its ABV taste like a petshop of a gardencenter, old sherry flavour, fino style. Milk chocolate, pears, gentle wood notes in a good way. Incredible complex and a good swimmer. Opens up with water and offers a decandent caramel-nut mixture.

fine orange notes, caramel biscuits and a little honey on the nose ... spicy, nutty, milk chocolate, pleasant sweetness and subtle woody notes on the palate ... the Fino Sherry comes through ... a pleasant dryness is followed by a long finish ... it keeps coming back ... wonderful ... now with darker fruits and darker chocolate ... it's really fun

Best Ben Nevis ever, not over-sherried at all, very complex, very old-school dirty...bottle went way too fast.

Was absolutely convincing in our tasting among 7 whiskys with 19 participants. Not the typical sherry, but still pleasantly concise. You couldn't feel the 55.7%. > highly recommended

White wine, citrus, barley sugars, yellow fruits, orange, marzipan, typical Ben Nevis funkiness without the tropical fruitiness, interesting and pleasant

I didn't expect a rehearsal here. Thanks to André from Whisky Evening. But now I'm happy about it, because the problem word here is “FINO SHERRY”. Unfortunately, I don't like white wine and I only read “Refill Sherry Butt”. Since I own the Bourbon Nevis from the same vintage, it was clear that I had to have this bottle. Now I find it difficult to stay fair with the evaluation, because it is precisely this "Fino" that poses a problem for me. The notes “white wine, dry and sour are unfortunately not my thing. I will try to grade the quality of the malt and its recipe in a completely neutral way. Let's get ready.

A very specific aroma. Barn. Cowshed. Hay, but old and stale. Silage. Yellow fruit. Cooked fruit. Underneath, a bit of dark chocolate and dried fruit appears. After a while, it gets a little better. Some fresher fruit appears. Fruits of the court. Red apples. Cooked apples. On the second nose, much better. Mushrooms. Soy sauce. More caramel and fruit. All the unpleasant notes are gone. Cooked fruit. Grain aromas. Yellow fruit. It has improved significantly. The first nose was very weak.

Great great drop that takes a lot of air and understanding and time 7nd if the right Maggi is there then Ben Nevis 22 years of genius make it very interesting in taste.

Alcohol packs a punch, when that wears off you get peaches, lemons, sponge cake, a bit of marzipan, marshmallows, some light turpentine, a bit of dried herbs, slight briny note. Lots of good stuff when the alcohol has worn off.

Good alcohol bite, it's warm and full, there's a decent amount of sweetness, good barley and cereals, a bit of freshly cut grass, lemon drops, a bit of marzipan. On the second chew there's more sweetness, it's juicier, a bit of apricot an a hint of peach, it's almost meaty, even. Some icing sugar, very faint smoky note, and a bit of brine. Third chew is powerful, it's drier, has some ginger and almost chili pepper, but it's full and rich, has more smoke, but also still a good dose of sweetness, no bitter notes. Very nice, and it would be great to have spent more time with it.

It comes down from the heat, some oak shows up again, light sweetness, toffee, a bit of ginger and maybe some mint, but it keeps staying warm and full for a long time.

a summery whisky for friends of white wine, not necessarily my case the Fino barrel
OJKExpert Senior8921 may 2023 11:20 pm
Funky lactose fruits, vanilla cream with fresh mint, pineapple sorbet, some citric spice on the finish. Tastes slightly younger than it is - blind I would have guessed this was one of the brilliant 2011 bourbon casks, perhaps with added oily tropical depth.
