Bottled at 50.9% ABV and presented in a 700ml bottle, this distinguished spirit hails from the renowned Ben Nevis distillery in the Highlands. This whisky is part of the enchanting "Nectar of the Daily Drams" series by Bresser & Timmer, also affectionately known as Daily Dram.

On the nose, this whisky offers a fresh, clean profile with vibrant notes of citrus peel, chalk, grains, and a subtle hint of butter. Undertones of paint and sunflower oil are interwoven with the zesty bitterness of citrus fruits like grapefruit. The palate reveals a full-bodied experience with a waxy texture. The initial flavors of paint and overripe bananas meld seamlessly with a perfect balance of bitterness and spice, complemented by the delicate nuances of green tea and quince.
The finish is creamy and long-lasting, leaving impressions of vanilla, black pepper, and a light oaky presence. Hints of yoghurt, smokiness, and earthy oak tones add depth to the final moments of the tasting journey.
