Ben Nevis The Octave For The Spirits Embassy 12 Year Old, Sherry Octave Cask, Cask #3946613, 2012, Duncan Taylor, 54.4%

Rich and balanced are promising, with a long-lasting finish, but the notes leave smoke level a mystery. For someone checking whether smoke takes the lead, that’s not much of a clue; the emphasis here is on richness instead.
