Ben Nevis 20 Year Old 1997 - Old Particular Consortium of Cards (Douglas Laing)
The second release from Douglas Laing's Old Particular Consortium of Cards series! This one is a 20 year old Ben Nevis, drawn from a refill butt which matured the single malt Scotch whisky from February 1997 to May 2017. 626 bottles were produced, featuring the King of Diamonds on the label - and it's also been given the sub-name 'King of the Hills'. Probably a reference to the Ben Nevis mountain, not the vastly underrated cartoon.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Plenty of barley and vanilla, with hints of mineral smoke lingering.
Palate
Smoke becomes more forward on the palate, though soon enough brioche and jam develops.
Finish
A touch of fizzy orange on the finish.
