Ben Nevis 1996/2013 Octave Cask f. Malts and More Duncan Taylor 54.4% vol. 0,7l
Octave barrels have just a content of about 45-68 liters, with the result that a single barrel bottling does not produce many bottles - in this case, just 94 bottles.
Due to the small size of the Octave barrels, a whiskey can not spend long maturation here, the influence of the wood and its aromas is too big - "too much whiskey has too much contact with the barrel".
The Ben Nevis matured for 16 years in a bourbon barrel, then the whiskey came in a sherry octave cask for another three months.
The result is a Ben Nevis with many fruity aromas and notes, plus an elegant oak note:
Aromas of rice wine, fruit - especially grapefruit, a little green wood, in the background menthol and vinyl
In the taste notes of cereal and oatmeal, a distinct and very elegant oak note, paired with prunes
The finish is long and sweet.

Wer die Destille in ihrer Lage kennt, glaubt beim Genießen, den Caledonian Channel mit Neptun´s Staircase zu befahren. Ein eingefangener wunderbarer schottischer Urlaub

Es war ein feiner Whisky, leider zu lange her, um die einzelnen Komponenten zu beurteilen.

Braucht ein wenig stilles Wasser, um den vollen Duft und Geschmack heraus zu bringen.
