Ben Nevis 10yo

Hey guys! How’s it going?.

For this Friday’s dram I have a very interesting one for you, it’s the Ben Nevis 10yo Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky. I say interesting because this is one whisky I’ve been trying to get for some time, not only because it’s a very good whisky, but also because the distillery is owned by Nikka and it is used in Nikka blends. So you can imagine my curiosity 😄.

Alright, so let’s see how it tastes like. Here is my review:

Nose: Nutty and herbal, fresh with sweet citrus like oranges and a bit of lemon and a hint of smoke.
Palate: A bit dry, with dried fruit and citrus notes again, but also warm and spicy. Nutty again with toffee, peat notes and bitter sweet.
Finish: Long, warm and spicy with toffee and sweet fruit.
Color: Amber

I can firmly say that I really like this one. So the rumours were true 😄 I can almost taste a bit of Nikka here 😂😂😂.

What are your thoughts on this one?

My name is Andrei, Andrei-Paul Muresan. I’m an IT professional, born in the wonderful year of 1982, in the heart of Transylvania (for people who don’t know, the heart of Transylvania is a city called Cluj-Napoca, located in Eastern Europe, in Romania to be more exact). Here’s a photo of me, just to put a face to the name 😉 I mentioned Transylvania because most people are more likely to know where Transylvania is and not where Romania is 🙂 oh and by the way, vampires, they’re just ghost stories, sorry to disappoint everybody. As you might expect, given my profession, I’m passionate about technology and everything that surrounds it, but I am also a great spirits fan, and when I say spirits I mean scotch, whisk(e)y and cognac, and I also enjoy a good cigar (I never say no to a good cigar). I like to mix all that with a good tune and also a good game, I own a couple of game consoles. I am, by no means, an expert in the scotch/whisk(e)y/cognac/cigar world, but I am keen on learning everything there is to know about it, so I’m launching an invitation to you, to join me in this virtual journey as we learn together.
