2015 Adelphi Ben Nevis 5 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Close to the youngest Ben Nevis ever bottled and already showing amazing colour from brief time in a first-fill Oloroso sherry puncheon. (Carn Mor released a fabulous four year old last year which was precocious). Adelphi describe a deeply savoury nose swimming with aromas of new welly boots, Marmite, beef jus, star anise, soy and oyster sauces, Black Forest gâteaux and rich game. The palate continues with fig chutney, Soreen malt loaf, liquorice, green tea, beef jerky and kicap manis. An almost edible finish, not for the faint hearted. This is heady, chunky stuff! 61.3% Alc./Vol.
