The Ben Nevis 2014 LMDW 2nd Fill Sherry Butt whisky is a delightful expression with a unique and complex flavor profile, skillfully crafted by the talented distillers at the Ben Nevis Distillery and bottled by La Maison du Whisky. Aged for 6 years in the Highlands region, this whisky was distilled in 2014 and bottled in 2021. With an ABV of 57.1% and a 700 ml bottle size, this expression is a testament to the craftsmanship involved in its creation.
On the nose, this whisky is reminiscent of Clynelish, with a buttery waxiness, butter cream, and fresh raisin rolls. Additional notes of fudge, manzanilla, and lighter-style Jamaican rum indicate an active cask. With a touch of water, the aroma becomes doughier, chalkier, with more soot and porridge.
The palate is initially tight and thick, with the youth of the whisky adding vibrancy and freshness. Flavors of white Hampden, pear juice, olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, mead, and candied zests create a delightful symphony on the tongue. Introducing water to the mix elevates the experience, showcasing the exceptional quality of the spirit.
The finish is long and adhesive, with a zesty sensation. Notes of cherry linger, reminiscent of kissing glossy lips. This whisky, although young, is not immature; its youthful qualities add to its charm and character, making it both sweet and tasty, camouflaging the otherwise youthful feinty notes.
The label of the bottle is outstanding, evoking the sophistication and elegance of a fine art foundation. The whisky itself is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the distillers and is sure to delight whisky enthusiasts and collectors alike.
