Суммаризация отзывов

Отзывы в целом сходятся на том, что виски молодой, сладкий и довольно простой, с заметным влиянием бурбона и характерным для Ben Nevis духом, но без большой сложности. Мнения о качестве расходятся: от «приятного повседневного» до «необязательного» и уступающего стандартной 10-летней версии.
развернуть подробно
В текстовых отзывах виски чаще всего описывают как молодой, что проявляется в новых/солодовых нотах, резкости и «штормовом» характере. Многие отмечают сладость и влияние бурбоновых бочек: ваниль, мёд, ирис, сливочные и хлебные тона, жёлтые и цитрусовые фрукты, иногда минеральность и лёгкий дым. Часть отзывов говорит о мягкости и лёгкой питкости, другие — о водянистом или простом теле, коротком/среднем финише и недостатке сложности. Несколько отзывов прямо сравнивают его с 10-летней версией Ben Nevis и считают Coire Leis более молодым, плоским или менее удачным, а также сомневаются в его цене и смысле выпуска. При этом есть и положительные оценки: виски называют приятным, «опасно» лёгким летним драмом, с хорошим балансом сладких фруктов, ванили и минеральных нот, а также с сохранённым «фанковым» характером Ben Nevis. В ряде отзывов подчёркивается, что это не «смус»-виски и что дух Ben Nevis ощущается отчётливо, хотя ему, по мнению некоторых, не хватает нескольких лет выдержки. Общего единодушия нет: одни считают его удачным повседневным вариантом, другие — разочарованием и худшим в основной линейке.

This smells and tastes like a castrated version of the myriad 201x vintage bourbon matured Ben Nevis’es, which means it’s very young and very sweet, with the typical Ben Nevis minerals being present but subdued by the youthful aggression of the spirit. This Ben Nevis is not bad but also not necessary. All these casks could have been matured for longer so there would be more of the 10 year old to go around.

So I don't really understand this bottling. At least from the point of view of a connoisseur. Compared to the new 10, it almost inevitably looks even younger and flatter. I somehow see no added value of this bottling. Sure, it's cheaper than the 10, but it's not really cheap in relation to what's on offer.
Cooperesque Expert Senior — 15 mar 2023 9:13 pm
The whisky appears quite young, but since it is my first Ben Nevis I do not have much reference. Certainly not a bad dram, but not a must have either. Fun while it lasted.

Delicious taste and aftertaste, the nose could have been a bit fuller. Nice, soft oily finish. Honey, toffee, light oak, pear. Weak nose but nice soft and full aftertaste. Finish 88/100. Nose 82/100. Flavor: 85/100. Good value for money for Dutch standards.

Nose: Sweet, vanilla, lemon, mineral, subtle smoke, light mandarin, malt, oak | Taste: Sweet, vanilla, spicy, mineral, grapefruit, malt, oak, subtle apple, light grapes, light smoke | Finish: Medium length; sweet malt, light fruit, light mineral notes and a light note that reminds me of grape skin. | Conclusion: The nose starts off sweet with vanilla. There are also lemon and mineral notes. Subtle smoke is in the background. There is also a light mandarin, malt and oak. The taste starts off sweet and spicy. A nice vanilla, mineral notes, malt and oak come straight in. A brief moment of grapefruit follows. There is now a subtle sweet apple and light grapes. A very light smoke here in the background too. A good, solid whisky. A nice play of sweet light fruit, vanilla and mineral notes. I have no off notes. | 86 points

It's called bourbon, and it smells fresh, and when you drink it, it tastes like you're drinking makgeolli, which is sour and has a lot of esters. It was the most fun entry I've ever had.

Dre73 Connoisseur 81 09 dec 2022 5:15 pm
Quite young whisky in my opinion, with a lot of malty and new-make notes. Not quite ready to bottle I would say, certainly when it's from Ben Nevis. Pretty disappointing actually.
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос80Very malty, vegetal, smells very young, with this typical new-make style. Later on some more ripe citrus fruits in it, but the malty new-make like scents remain in front.
Вкус81Some power now, malty again, still this young taste, some more citrus fruity sourness underneath now. Vegetal notes.
Финиш81More smooth, although a bit pickering in the throat. Some maltiness and some citrus fruits, with also far away somw whiffs of licorice. Not too long finish.
Tom na Gruagaich Connoisseur 80 09 jan 2023 11:15 pm
phew I want Ben Nevis, but they won't pull me out from behind the stove. The Coire Leis is simply still very young. But the 10s is also a fairly straight-forward, clean Highland malt compared to before. He's already good. But keep 10 J Highland Standard good. So 35 to 40 euros. The Core Leis doesn't do badly in its youth and would be an alternative for a good 30 euros because of the 46%. Of course I rate without including the price. But you still have to write that, they are both far too expensive for what they offer.

The nose has a good amount of vanilla and yellow, sour fruits. There are spices, sweet grains and biscuit dough as well as slightly dirty oak. The taste is spicy at first. Then vanilla again and a lot of acidity. Behind that, yellow fruits, biscuit dough and sweet malt. The finish is medium-short and ends creamy and woody. The whisky has a nice vanilla, but also a good amount of acidity. You have to like and want that. You can tell that it is not very old, as it still has rough edges and a stormy nature. I classify this whisky more as a summer whisky.

It may not be the most outstanding Ben Nevis I have ever tried, but it is still a very good drop. Lots of bourbon cask influence with rich vanilla at the forefront, but the industrial Ben Nevis character still successfully manages to grab attention.

Different to the 10. A lot softer sweeter and gentle yet I still get the funky Ben Nevis character. Gentle toffee, honey vanilla and barley sugar with slight bitterness. A few drops of water smooths out the bitterness and brings out more sweetness. My go to is still the BN 10, but this is more an easy sipper.

Glorious malt, how can it be so easy-drinking and simply scrumtious?! A very dangerous summer whisky. Imho a bit overpriced like all of the new core range, but really really fun. Among the best? Not even close! But boy, unless you are an irredeemable peat, sherry, and cask strength-only mate, you are in for some real enjoyment.
Victor_Harri Expert Senior 81 13 sep 2026 3:53 pm

A release that makes no sense to me, as it is a much lesser version of their regular 10. Please pay the extra $10 and get a better whisky,
WhiskyRanked Expert Senior 71 22 sep 2023 5:23 am
Tried the Coire Leis at the distillery and it was my favorite sample... however it was not as good as the Oban flight I had earlier in the day! My scores are derived from head to head comparisons with other whiskies and calculated using the Colley Matrix Method.

Вкус80Light sweetness, still very dirty, with a twist of yellow fruits, apricot and quince. Sweet maltiness like digestive biscuits. Oatmeal. Soft. A little bit above the low body. Your moss is rising. Lacks a bit of complexity

I'm not a fan of Ben Nevis but it's not a bad whisky at all, I prefer this pure bourbon style. Sweet vanilla, citrus, honey, malt taste. Nothing to discover, a bit boring...
Stanzeflasche Connoisseur 86 22 oct 2023 3:38 am
The nose is sweet and honeyed, both pastry and woody, with cinnamon and other spices. The wood is rather exotic, enhanced with notes of cocoa and dates, there is also yellow plum pulp, and a beautiful thick vanilla. A touch of lemon. The palate is light on the other hand, watery, there are few flavors, white chocolate perhaps, filled with raisins, fortunately the spices arrive, nutmeg and pepper, they save a little face. The finish is correct, long, with heather, more spices, quite strong this time. Undergrowth and humus. We find the Ben Nevis brand, its authenticity, with a beautiful nose and great fullness. On the other hand, the mouth is too light, it doesn't work. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2023/10/ben-nevis-coire-leis.html

The_Osprey Expert Senior 81 20 feb 2025 9:29 pm
Ben Nevis Coire Leis, SMSW, 46%. 25ml sample at home, Feb 2025. Very pale yellow – the first fill bourbon casks didn’t get much time to work their magic, perhaps. Aroma is custard creams, spiritous vanilla extract, musty oak, lightly vegetal, a light orangey note to start which increases a little with time – white chocolate with orange. Quite spiritous and a touch hot. A bit basic. It needs time in the glass. Body is lightly oily. Taste is nicely meaty spirit – the Ben Nevis signature comes through a lot more than in the other core range products (which is absolutely a good thing). Quite waxy too, salt and light smoke. Astringent on the finish. Appley and spiritous throughout. This is not what you might call a 'smooth' whisky by any means. This experience reaffirms that I really enjoy the Ben Nevis spirit character, but it also shows that the spirit needs a few extra years in a cask. This is the weakest offering in the core range for me, but it is still an average quality Scotch whisky with a unique character that I enjoy. 3.4/81
