TASTING NOTES - WILSON & MORGAN BEN NEVIS 10YO 2014

Nose

Quite typical Ben Nevis. There are several interesting nutty Sherried notes, with some of the funky character of the distillery of polished brass and a touch of stony minerality. It is only slightly winey. A touch of vanilla of best possible quality, with extra chocolate. It shows a higher intensity character and maybe a darker and more wintery one when compared to the 10yo core range official bottling.

Palate

The slightly higher ABV compared to the core range 10yo increases the red fruity sensations, as well as some spicy intensity. It shows again toasted and refined cereals, candied orange and marzipan. It’s slightly tannic, medium bodied, but also fresh and mineral, especially in the second palate.

Finish

Drier, spicier than expected, still wintery yet very juicy.

Wilson & Morgan Ben Nevis 10yo 2014 is overall a great independent young Ben Nevis, with the two different casks pairing very well together. The choice of bottling at slightly higher ABV adds to the intensity.
