Ben Nevis Coire Leis Single Malt Whisky

From The Whisky Exchange

Released in 2021, Ben Nevis Coire Leis is named after one of the distillery's main water sources, located on Ben Nevis itself. Rich, sweet aromas of toffee, vanilla, honey, oaky spice and barley sugars fill the nose, complemented by notes of ripe pears, apricots, sweet malt, Crème Anglaise and rich oak throughout the palate.

From Master of Malt

After taking some time breathing in the mountain air, the folks at Ben Nevis distillery created a new expression to release in 2021 – we present to you Coire Leis! Produced with pure highland water collected from Scotland's highest water source, 1,345 metres above sea level, this has a wonderfully rich character that would certainly help to keep us warm on a high altitude hike.

Nose: Woody spice, floral honey and vanilla, sweet malt, and buttery biscuits.

Palate: Orchard and stone fruits, sugary barley, spiced fruit loaf, and toasted oak.

Finish: Baking spice continues alongside bold malt and baked apple.
