Whisky Agency Ben Nevis 1996 44.1%
$242.99
Well this is just gorgeous stuff... how did we not notice it before. It is increasingly hard to find mid-1990s Ben Nevis for less that $300... Bottled at 51.5%, the whisky is a 1996 distillation matured in a Refill Hogshead.
My Tasting Note
Nose: creamy, honeyed and waxy with banana chips, paraffin oil and fresh cut flowers; midori melon liqueur, macadamia nut butter and nougat.
Palate: soft, toasty and floral with a honeyed, velvety mouthfeel; honey dew melon, more midori liqueur, juicy bitter orange, toasty banana chips and apricot jam; loads of floral vanilla, waxy oils and macadamia nut butter.
Finish: long, toasty and floral with more honey/vanilla and loads of soft fruits; late toasty oak and delicate peppery spices.
Comment: this is layered, complex and old school: waves of soft silky fruits, vanilla, toasted oak and spices; a lovely, elegant bottling; pretty sure this is an American oak hoggy, and it is gorgeous… well worth the ticket price!

Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: Treacle sauce, crab apple jelly, firm new leather, dark chocolate and Eatmore; slightly herbaceous, fruit compote with orange peel and frilled pineapple; meaty and a touch musty-dunnage warehouse.
Palate: rich, thick, sweet, spicy and fruity with more treacle sauce, soft leather and dark chocolate; maple syrup, fruit compote, glazed beef jerky and juicy orange; a touch of musty-earthy dunnage warehouse notes; lush and layered, some apricot jam and quince paste; increasingly spicy as you dig in to it with candied ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon hearts.
Finish: coating, spicy and syrupy with toasted oak and more fruit compote.
Comment: not as elegant as the TWA 22 Year, but it is also richer and sherried, so a very different style; meaty, fruity and syrupy with dark chocolate, and even the dark chocolate is spicy!
