Bottled from carefully selected casks \u2013 a soft and surprisingly sweet whiskey that can be favorably compared to the sister release Ben Nevis 10YO.<\/p>\n
Fragrance<\/p>\n
Caramel and vanilla sweetness with a mild hint of wood and barley.<\/p>\n
Taste<\/p>\n
Ripe pears and apricots, followed by malt and sweetness.<\/p>\n
Aftertaste<\/p>\n
Soft and creamy – especially here the dish is clearly felt.<\/p>\n
In general
\nAlong with the reissue of 10YO also comes Coire Leis (Pronounced somewhat \u00e0 la: \u201dk\u00e5-rie l\u00e9-sh\u201d). Where the 10YO is the standard Ben Nevis release, the Coire Leis is a more experimental bottling, taken from selected bourbon and oak casks.<\/p>\n
The result is a unique and surprisingly sweet whiskey that lends itself well to comparison with its sister release.<\/p>\n
The bottle’s title “Coire Leis” is the Scottish-Celtic name for a beautiful rock formation on Ben Nevis mountain.<\/p>\n
Tasting notes
\nOn the nose, you meet toffee and honey-sweet vanilla. You can also sense the oak, and finally the scent turns into a sweet barley taste.<\/p>\n
The first thing you notice in the taste are fresh, ripe pears and apricots, followed by malt and sweetness.<\/p>\n
The aftertaste is soft, rounded and creamy, and bears a clear impression of the dish.<\/p>\n
The distillery
\nBen Nevis is one of Scotland’s oldest existing distilleries. It was founded way back in 1825, and is located at the foot of the mountain it is named after. Ben Nevis (that is, the mountain) is, with its 1345 meters, the highest mountain in the whole of Great Britain.<\/p>\n
The distillery was founded by ‘Long’ John McDonald. Got his nickname because of his (for the time) unusual height of 1.90cm.<\/p>\n
Today, the distillery produces both Single Malt, Blended Malt and Blended Whisky.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
