The Nectar is distributing Elixir Distillers bottlings in Belgium. They now have two exclusive releases bottled in the Single Malts of Scotland range: an Imperial 1996 and this Ben Nevis 1996 . Two interesting distilleries, both with rather unique profiles.

Ben Nevis 23 yo 1996 (51,3%, Single Malts of Scotland for The Nectar 2019, hogshead #536, 249 btl.)

Nose: lemon, lime, pineapple and kiwi mixed with green tea, light minty notes, sage and pine needles. Then some chalky notes, concrete and moss. Waxy / greasy notes and linseed oil. Pretty excellent. Mouth: very oily, developing a wonderful fruitiness...
