Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights and a mahogany glow, like sunlit caramel.
Nose
Opulent Madeira-fueled nose over Ben Nevis’ malt-forward character: raisin and fig mingle with dried apricot, toffee, honey, and dark chocolate. Orange zest, almond paste, and a whisper of spice drift through polished oak, delivering a luxurious, sun-warmed aroma with generous depth.
Palate
Silky and medium- to full-bodied, this Ben Nevis from the Dun Bheagan single cask delivers Madeira-finished richness: raisins, fig, and orange marmalade folded into cocoa-dusted toffee. Cinnamon and clove notes rise with oak tannins, yielding a warm, velvety palate that lingers with dried-fruit sweetness and a touch of leather.
Finish
Long, luxurious finish drenched in Madeira sweetness—orange zest, fig and raisin fruit, and toffee. Spices swirl with cinnamon and nutmeg, settling into dark cocoa, toasted almond, and a whisper of leather that lingers with refined warmth.
