Fantastic 10 year old single malt, however this one is not for the beginner....

I got my Ben Nevis 10 in February last year, I really enjoyed it. I paid £40 for it but it’s jumped in price by £20 on some sites since then. I think it changes with every batch as they often have to wait for certain casks to mature before they start to produce it (like last year when there was a shortage for a few months). I don’t recommend it to many people now because of the price but it’s a great whisky to try once your bored of the Supermarket offerings.

looking at my bottle / carton - no mention of colour or chill filtering. Lots of fluff about glacial water. Still one of my faves.

Cheers for the review Alan. Haven’t had the 10 for a while. Need to revisit. Missed out on the Ralfy anniversary bottling the Good Spirits Co done. From what I heard though everyone loved that version of Ben Nevis

That's a completely different colour to my BN10 46%. It's a cracking dram and I have an heir ready to uncork. But I recognise the tasting notes. Quite an oily spirit, and you call it clean, where as I regard it as slightly dirty (in a good way) which I attribute to NCF.

I had this in a bar. I liked it, but I didn't love it enough to hunt it down - and this is a hard bottle to come by around here. 86/100 is a very fair score I think.

I like Ben Nevis and I'm always on the lookout for the indy offerings. Most recent was a Signatory Ben Nevis 9, from a refill butt cask no: 126, tasty. I also dip my toe in and out of the official offerings. The 10 y.o batch 1 is very good but quite expensive. Best value at the moment is their Glencoe 8, a vatted/blended malt served up at cask strength, that utterly fails to hide the Ben Nevis component, is there actually anything else in it?. Still available for circa £40 ;) Great way to start a flight of dirtier drams or to scoff in a session with pals. Not a stunner but great bang for buck punching above it's price tag...

It's a shame a lot of Ben Nevis new make gets shipped over to Japan. I'm a Ben Nevis fan, a little rough around the edges but in a good way. I think it can take some getting used to. I have the Ralfy exclusive but not opened it yet :)
