Ben Nevis is not my favorite distillery so far, but this bottling by Alambic Classique is supposedly very good. I won't get my hopes up too high, but will this be the first Ben Nevis that I actually like?
I've tasted Glen Albyn 1974 once before, during a sailing trip off the west coast of Scotland. Imagine my surprise when I encountered that exact same bottle at last year's Whiskybase Gathering. I brought home a sample, and here is the result.
A few weeks ago I was sent a sample of each cask to determine whether or not it is time to bottle our Strathearn casks. I can't believe it's been four years already since these casks were filled!
