Comments: 

Cask ref 20. This whisky was hard to score. On one hand it is complex and has quite an intense flavour profile, plenty of dried fruits and floral fragrance. On the other the flavours aren’t that well defined, and I had to work quite hard to find that Ben Nevis character. In the end I came down on ‘it’s nice’ :).

Verdict:

I like this.
