Description

Chorlton Whisky, an independent bottler from Manchester, released this 17-year-old single malt from the Ben Nevis distillery. It was matured in a bourbon barrel and bottled at a cask strength of 48.8% ABV. This release is part of Chorlton Whisky's commitment to bottling whiskies at natural strength from a single cask, without colouring or chill-filtering, and is recognizable by its striking artwork.

Nose
Soft floral notes and subtle maltiness underpin ripe fruits (apple, peach, banana), a touch of citrus zest, butter candy, lemon sherbets, fior di latte ice cream, shoe polish and soot. [2, 9, 10, 12]
Palate
The waxy texture delivers layers of stone fruit interwoven with creamy milk chocolate and honeycomb sweetness. It's fruity, funky, oily and mineralic, with orange, plum, beeswax, chalk, chartreuse and spearmint. A hint of nutmeg and soft oak spice lingers beneath. [2, 9, 10, 12]
Finish
The waxy texture persists, carrying remnants of honeyed sweetness, fading fruit, a gentle touch of cocoa, sweet and tart lemon, nutmeg and cinnamon, slightly mineral, a bit dry, and oaky vanilla. [2, 9, 10]
