Tasting notes：

Ben Nevis Heavily Peated 4 Years Old：

Nose: New make. Dry peat smoke, coal smoke. malt sweetness. Vanilla. You don't notice the alcohol strength in the nose. In the background there is a very subtle influence of the Refill Oloroso Butt: nuts and dried fruit. Orange blossoms. Spice.

Palate:Strong start, creamy body. Naturally tingles in the mouth. Extremely sweet! Smoke, honey, fresh and also rotten apples, anise, soot, used oil, cut grass, malt, nuts, tar, toffee, apricots, damp rags, metallic notes, ginger, oak.
You can also dilute it a little; He tolerates that really well!

Finish: Medium length finish. Smoke, toffee, nuts, soot, dirty old oil, metallic notes, oak.

Blair Athol 9 Years Old：

Nose:  Nougat and dark chocolate. Christmas spices and gingerbread. Plums, ripe cherries. Nuts. Freshly ground coffee. Sherry.

Palate: Peppery, sharp start. Still spicy even with a little water. Something burns on the tongue. Gingerbread. Nuts. Black coffee. Ripe, dark fruits. Dark chocolate. The alcohol gives it oomph, but it's not well integrated. The aromas seem artificial, not deep, which suggests a wet barrel. Cough Syrup. Oak spice, bitter.

Finish: Pepper, oak spice. Bitter chocolate. Short to medium length at best.

Ardmore 13 Years Old：

Nose: Blueberry, nougatine, apple, gingerbread, mint and a whiff of peat. Water adds smoked ham.

Palate: Peat, blueberry, gingerbread, apple and nougatine.

Finish: Hazelnut, peat, gingerbread and apple.
