Ben Nevis 8 “Battlehill”

Country: Scotland

Region: Highlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Duncan Taylor

ABV: 43%

Score: 68 Points

The nose has notes of oak and vanilla, with subtle hints of pears and green apples. Tart ripe apples dominate the taste, with a slightly sour mouthfeel as the apples fade. Not impressive. (2008)
