Ben Nevis MacDonald's Traditional Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Out of stock
This non-age statement Whisky is a recreation of McDonald's Traditional Malt, a popular expression from Ben Nevis distillery in the 1800's. More heavily peated than modern Ben Nevis and predominantly matured in Sherry casks. This Whisky combines sweet sherried fruit with thick bonfire smoke and savoury notes. A full bodied and complex Single Malt.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a mahogany undertone.
Nose
Spicy, cinnamon and black pepper rise, giving way to a savoury, meaty core lacquered with sweet sherry; ash and smoke drift through, with a bright hint of Seville orange peel.
Palate
Soft, oily mouthfeel coats the palate, with oak and ash framing barely there sugars, porridge and pine needles, all carried by a warmly sweet sherry core.
Finish
Long, textured and sweet, the finish drapes the palate with rich sherry, while sulphur and smoke weave an enveloping, ash-laced echo. It slowly fades into warm oak, leaving a final, peppery glow that lingers with a dusky, elegant warmth.
