Молодой хересный Ben Nevis: сладкий нос с красными фруктами, какао и шоколадом, но тонкий, дубово-пряный вкус и короткое послевкусие. Достоин ~60 €, не больше; узнаваемый характер винокурни почти утрачен.
развернуть подробно
В аромате доминирует сладость активной первой заливки: красные фрукты и ягоды (смородина, вишня), красное вино, курага, какао, шоколад, жареный миндаль и намёк на дуб, с приятной кислинкой и хорошо встроенным для своего возраста спиртом. Вкус разочаровывает почти всех: тело жидковатое и невыразительное, сквозит молодая перечная резкость и сухая дубовая пряность, местами маслянистость и кислые ягоды с какао, но фрукты вытеснены стенкой бочки. Послевкусие короткое, суховатое, слегка горькое и невнятное, не удерживает интенсивность.
Опытные ревьюеры (83–86) сходятся с остальными в диагнозе: насыщенный, бочко-ориентированный нос при пустоватом, недодержанном вкусе; их оценки плотно держатся у 83–86. Основная критика — разбавленность, тонкость и то, что бочка глушит характерные экзотические фрукты Ben Nevis. Часть менее опытных авторов резче: оценки 70–75 с упрёками в сладковатой пустоте, пластиковом привкусе и «раздутости» из-за модной этикетки; один сожалеет, что винокурня лишена узнаваемого лица. Разброс оценок заметный (70–87), но консенсус ровный: добротный, но переоценённый молодой херес, справедливая цена — около 60 €.

Yes, I thought I could get such a nice hater rating out of it. Ben Nevis is very often not my cup of tea. But nothing. Can be sipped away and is OK for the coal (RRP ~ 60). Absolutely barrel-heavy nose, active 1st fill. A little youth (peppery) shines through on the palate, but is quickly overtaken and ironed out by the barrel wall. Nevertheless, nice intense fruit. In the finish he can't quite keep up the intensity

Lots of taste, unfortunately quite thin...

sweet and sour, red orangeade powder, red currant, dried apricot, there is something in it that doesn't let you take your nose away from the glass and encourages you to inhale, chocolate with a hint of oak |

Long with red wine, vanilla, citrus, berries and lingering spice. |
Tried at the Whisky Fair Düsseldorf. Similar to the other young sherry finish bottlings from the house of SV. You can smell and taste the Ben Nevis a little more clearly, but the dilution spoils the pleasure, both in the mouth and on the finish. Anyone who got it for €60 didn't sell themselves. If the label is really worth 60 €, you can confidently spend 120 € ;-)

Sweet, with well-integrated alcohol but low complexity. Still supple

Quite passable malt, no more, no less. Expected more... got less. Thanks for the hype! I don't really need it.

First impression of the nose is quite thin, something comes through, but somehow it's not clearly definable for me. Fruit, sweetness and some wood blur into a mush. After a while it will become clearer. Then I get some red wine, chocolate, fruit notes of red berries, cherries, some zest of an orange. All together this leads to a mild, soft sherry nose. Some caramelized almonds and roasted aromas in the background. |

On the palate then again fruity aromas, more of a sour kind, citrus fruits, currants come along with a peppery oak spice. Something young and rough. The second sip is a bit oilier, creamier, the spice a little less dominant. I like that better then. Cocoa powder and spices, light dry red wine note. |

Medium-length finish, spicy oak, peppery, again slightly tart fruit, somewhat dry, hints of red wine |
Beautifully sweet and fruity nose. The exotic fruit notes typical of Nevis are somewhat hidden behind the sweet barrel. But there is still a pleasant acidity that can just about hold its own against the cocoa and chocolate aromas. The alcohol is surprisingly well integrated for its age. Overall, however, it is almost overwhelmed by the barrel with a lot of dry oak spice on the palate and a somewhat boring, slightly bitter finish. A little oxidation does it a lot of good. The chocolaty, nutty side is its strength. The bottle would be worth about 60€ to me.

Just sweet and thin… with a plastic aftertaste. In my opinion it's just hype from the label
Ok for 60-70€, but not more!

It horrifies me |
In today's price structure, what it offers is reasonable for €60. If you pay more for it, you do it because of the funny label and that's totally fine.

Never leave it in the children's room.... The sample enjoyed leaves no danger that this whisky will even come into my apartment. If I tasted it blindly, I would definitely not have guessed Ben Nevis here, it's a shame when a distillery is robbed of its characteristic taste in this way. Honorable 71 points Sad new whisky world.
