A suprisingly good 19yo Ben Nevis from 1996

Nose

Excellent nose, mixture of floral, fruitiness and sweet, honey

Body

Caramel, sweet, honey, but also slightly bitter, not as floral of fruity as the nose suggest, perhaps the oak, creamy, very full body

Finish

Long oaky finish, the bitterness lingers but there’s a slight sweetness that makes it more enjoyable
