Stop number 78 on the Scottish Distillery Tour, and the last of the official samples for round 5, is Ben Nevis. I have no real info on this Highland distillery, but this is my first from them (a recurring theme during this little adventure). Bottled at 46% ABV and I am fairly certain it is non chill filtered and also fairly certain that there is colorant added making it a dark amber. Sweet fruits with a fair amount of sulfur are my initial impressions on the nose. Lots of berries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberry jam. Heavy sherry notes of honeyed dates and raisins. Slightly earthy with a distant nuttiness. Polished oak, cherry cordials, dark toffee and caramel with a slight coffee note. Orange pith, maple syrup, black licorice and a touch of mint The palate starts with a hit of medical and sulfuric notes behind a strong sweetness. Very fruity, mostly tropical in taste. Mango, oranges, blackberries. Milk and dark chocolate, black licorice and mint. More of those luscious mangos round it all out. Medium bodied mouthfeel that is mouth coating and a touch creamy. A medium long finish with sherry, blackberries and mango trailing on forever. This had real promise upon first nosing and tasting. Subsequent nosings and tastings revealed more of those sulfur notes and it put me off a little. There are really nice sherry and fruity notes in here that hint that there are casks much older than 10 years old at play here. I think that aging this another 2-4 years would do wonders. Would have been a 4 or 4.25 were those sulfur notes less prevalent. 3.75 it is. A big thanks to @Telex for the sample Cheers
