Another one as part of our distillery trading team, provided by my good friend @Telex. I first feel as if I need to add a disclaimer: I may have written two reviews back to back at 2pm EST but it doesn’t mean I was chugging whiskey during work hours in the office. That would be insane, I did it 8am, before starting work, and simply getting to the reviews now. Anyway: my first Ben Nevis. I’ve been saying “my first “ in these whiskey reviews often , like some pimply faced high school virgin...but yeah...I’ve had quite a few firsts in distilleries as part of our trading team. One of the benefits of being in a trading team. The other of course a regular supply of milk thistle. Anyway, the review: I love the legs on this. Long and lustrous. Silky smooth. I can stare at those all evening. For those of you who skip sentences while reading: we’re still talking about whiskey. Aroma—-not much, but what it lacks in the aroma, it makes up in palette. Honey, orchard fruits, citrus. Yeah it’s good. Need to put this baby on my purchase list. Thanks Jason!

@Generously_Paul yeah—-I’m actually lookimg forward to that Rare Black. I’ve had the regular one, and loved it, Expensive, but loved it. I think the Rare Black, Kilchoman Red wine, Four Roses LESB, and the Springbank 24 will be the highlights.
@PBMichiganWolverine here. I don't drink during the week and do typically on Friday/Saturday's. Plan to pour something tomorrow.
Just promise me @PBMichiganWolverine that you will take more time with that Macallan than you seemingly have with the rest of round 5. That one deserves it. Same goes for you @Telex and @Scott_E. If you’ve had the standard rare cask and enjoyed it, this will take you to a whole new plane of existence
@Telex yeah...I’m itching to finish the official samples so I can move to the bonus ones, where all the fun is. I know, self imposed practice...nothing says I can’t have the bonus ones first, but that would sort of take away the prize. I’d still be stuck in round 2 if I did that. Reminds me...where’s Scott nowadays? 😊 Haven’t seen him post lately.
Phew! Finally we have a winner. Lol
