Tasting Notes

Nose

Big, chunky — vanilla, nutmeg, subtle cloves. Delicate oak spice and sweet caramel. An intense bouquet for a budget blend.

Palate

Complex herbal flavours — fresh, herbaceous with wafting vanilla. Full-bodied and characterful. The Ben Nevis malt component adds genuine weight and depth.

Finish

Moderate — the herbal and vanilla notes sustain respectably.

Nevis Dew Blue Label is the flagship blend from Ben Nevis distillery — created at the millennium and becoming a permanent fixture due to persisting popularity. The blend uses Ben Nevis malt as its backbone, creating a full-bodied, herbaceous whisky with genuine character.

The Ben Nevis malt influence is the differentiator. The waxy, slightly funky character of Ben Nevis spirit gives Blue Label a personality that blends using lighter, more neutral malts cannot achieve. The result is a blend that is chunkier and more characterful than its modest price suggests.

Nevis Dew Blue Label is a well-made Highland blend with genuine character from one of Scotland's most underrated distilleries. The Ben Nevis malt backbone, the herbaceous freshness and the composed vanilla warmth create a blend worth seeking out. Award-winning quality at an everyday price.
