(Western Highland) Ben Nevis Coire Leis Malt Whisky  70cl

Released in 2021, Ben Nevis Coire Leis is named after one of the distillery's main water sources, located on Ben Nevis itself. On the nose: Lemon zest, orange, and sweet vanilla give a fresh start. Then malt biscuits, honey and oats come through, drizzled in cream, before whisps of charred oak arrive and a touch of fennel. In the mouth: Singed orange peel, apple pie and caramel. There's a fair amount of oak in the background, with digestive biscuits too, and then poached pears give it a lift before the spicy finish. The traditional Ben Nevis oiliness and creamy texture is there, although quite restrained, and it goes down smoothly. The addition of water dials down the spiciness and gives more space to the fruits, but it is not a must.
