Nose: Ripe red apple, custard and butterscotch are followed by rich cocoa, fresh black cherries, and honey on toast.
Palate: Cracked black peppercorn spice flickers through a rich, thick malt core, as well as zesty orange peel, tinned apricot, and a little toffee.
Finish: Smooth vanilla, some ripe white peach notes, and a wave of honey.
Overall: A superb example of what Ben Nevis can do.
