Loved my time with that bottle. Shame we don't see it on shelves often, even in good whisky shops at times. Nice to hear you love it too Jim.

Great review Jim. Glad you’ve finally got some sense! Sorry I mean your senses back! Just sipping a Ben 10 here now and the Strawberry note was one I couldn’t figure out until you mentioned it! Cheers 🥃

So glad to see you've got your taste and smell back fella. Loving the BN 10 it's a go to dram for me now and the Hazelburn 10 mate another favourite of mine nice one. Cheers mate

I agree, lovely stuff. I'm glad you got the umami funk too. I'd like to compare this with Deanston, i seem to think there might be similarities.

Great start of a new series of the (near) perfect 10. Love the Ben Nevis. One of those moreish whiskies. Slàinte mhath

The Ben Nevis 10 era between 2017 to 2020 were the absolute best. The rebranded Ben Nevis 10 falls very short from the level of depth and breadth the previous incarnation had.

Right in sync with you on this one Jim. I still have some left, which I love to savour every now and then. Cheers mate.

Thank you Jim for this review. After Ralfy smashed it while ago and gave 75 points out of 100 i've been in shock and turn my decision to buy it down. Just been waiting till someone say: Ben Nevis 10 is back. So i glad you done it you happy and you 100% recommend it. 🥂🙋🏻‍♂️🎅

Thanks for the review. Ben Nevis has not been on my radar. I've seen some young (7 to 8 yr) independent bottles in a San Francisco shop for well north of $100. Too much for a 1st bottle from anywhere. I will be in Fort William next month though. I'll make it a point to give it a try at the distillery. Cheers.

I really enjoy this dram! I picked up a Glencadam 10 and this one in Edinburgh a year ago. I found myself going back to this one more than the other. Can't believe Ralphy 'panned' it! :(.

I believe that’s the new Ben Nevis label. I have two bottles of the older label, don’t know if the content changed. Ralfy recently reviewed a new label bottle and have a very low rate. What I can say from the bottles I have is that it’s a great powerful whisky.

6:08 i love grapefruit!.... definitely keeping an eye out for this then.

I was curious about trying this but then Ralfy gave it a bit of a stinker of a review a while back so it fell down the pecking order but it’s just climbed back up again. Cheers Jim

Wish I could get the BN 10 in my part of the US. We had a tour scheduled at BN last July, and on our way there from the Islay ferry, we hit a pot hole on a rural single track and got a flat. Missed that tour, but did end up at Oban instead.

Hi Jim, for the record, this 10 yo expression dates from 1996, and it was indeed rebranded like this in 2021. I haven't tried this new version yet but heard good things about it...I alas don't have a lot left of my old one, I mean (especially after my crazy experiments in video for my N°72 home blend, recipe given away in a premiere in my channel) my 2018 release but I know it does contain older whiskies than 10 yo (as they didn't have a lot of stock for themselves, remember that 75 % of Ben Nevis goes to Japan for Nikka's blended brands, they use to add older casks), I even heard from a good source there was some subsequent 18 yo content in it, so i do recommend especially the releases from 2017-2018 if you can find a bottle (I'd like to replace mine too). Not sure it is true anymore with this new expression....Some feel it when they taste it, I haven't yet but if I do, I'll tell you my thoughts...Cheers !

The price for the OB Ben Nevis 10 yo imo horrible. In Denmark it's at the exact same level as the Springbank 10 yo with the 2022 Springbank price hike. I refuse to pay that (and that goes for both bottles), even if I'd love to taste this Ben Nevis. I can still buy 7-8 yo Ben Nevis from the Signatory Vintage Un-chillfiltered Collection for 30% less that the standard retail price of the 10 yo OB (and I have a 10 yo Ben Nevis Signatory UCF Collection bottle in stock already). I don't doubt for a second that it's good whisky. I just won't pay for it considering what I also can buy for the same money. Oh sorry... just caught myself in the middle of (almost) starting a mini-rant on pricing 😬😄 Great review, Jim. I still really want to taste this one with your words in mind - but unfortunately your skills stop at making me willing to pay the price 😂 Cheers buddy 🥃

Think I must have the same batch as Ralfy. 2021.

Didn't know you had symptoms from the vid. There is nothing like not tasting your whisky properly. Our market is flooded with indie BN right now. All bourbon and cask strength so life is good
