Ben Nevis 1996 Small Batch

Remarks:
very beautiful and interesting paints especially in the nose. Very complex and tasty. I like the flavor profile very much. Very well balanced

Overall I rate this Whisky 90/100 points

• Nose: 90/100 points
  In the very first moment I had nutmeg, then there are soft nutty notes, some chocolate, orange peel, slightly malty in the background and a kind of menthol note hovers over everything all the time, occasionally sherry aromas which become more intense over time and which appear briefly Menthol notes take a back seat
  
  
• Taste: 90/100 points
  nice sherry start, a bit sweet, then nice orange notes paired with dried fruits with the orange dominating. Later it appears a bit salty and bitter but not unpleasant. Some spicy oak comes through
  
  
• Finish: 90/100 points
  Nice aromatic finish, lots of fruit, a bit sweet and also a bit bitter and slightly sour. Nice mouthfeel, the oak is also clearly present here.
