Tasting notes：

Nose: Freshly poured like a Braeburn that has just been eaten. Mildly sour, sweet, almost floury.
Then citrus notes appear, a hint of pear, yeast - a muted caramelized apple pie.
Not for beginners or those in a hurry, it takes time.

Palate: Light fruity and very oaky! It pushes and has power in the mouth, spreads out enormously and literally distributes the barrel in the mouth. impressively.

Finish: Long-lasting and spicy, but not unpleasant, it remains with this fruity note like grandma's preserved fruit from the cellar. Apricots, mirabelle plums, the Calvados barrel make this Ben Nevis truly unique. thanks for that.
