Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают Ben Nevis 1997 HiSp как фруктовый, с характерной для Nevis «грязноватой»/землистой нотой и заметной сернистостью в начале, которая уходит после аэрации. Мнения о качестве расходятся: часть отмечает приятную фруктово-шоколадную сладость, часть — затхлость и неготовность платить высокую цену.
развернуть подробно
В текстовых отзывах неоднократно повторяются фруктовые ноты — тропические и жёлтые фрукты, персики, абрикосы, цитрус, а также сладость вроде ванильного крема, мёда, шоколада и орехов. Несколько отзывов отдельно отмечают «грязный», землистый или минеральный характер, типичный для Ben Nevis, и присутствие сернистых/затхлых нот в носу, которые у части дегустаторов ослабевают после дыхания виски. Вкус описывают как маслянистый, пряный (перец), иногда с горьковатым и длительным финишем, переходящим от фруктов к земле и орехам.
Оценки в основном высокие, но не единогласные: есть и критические замечания о слишком заметной затхлости, «усталости» фруктов и о том, что за высокую цену покупать виски такого уровня не хочется. Часть отзывов содержит только числовые баллы или короткие заметки без развёрнутого описания, поэтому обобщение опирается на тексты с содержательными описаниями.

| Нос | 90 | A musty cellar, rotten, ripe, exotic fruit, a brown banana, something grassy, almost perfumed—I find it funky and really exciting. The exotic fruits become more and more pronounced with more air. That's really good. |
| Вкус | 89 | Even in the mouth, there's a sense of dirtiness and a lot of fruit, very dirty, like ripe tropical fruits lying in a stony, dark, musty vegetable cellar. I often find this in Ben Nevis, and I like it, although I prefer those pure fruit bombs even more. |
| Финиш | 89 | The whisky transitions from fruity to earthy, then into a pleasant bitterness. Quite full and intense, and not short either. That's really very good. |

Very worthy in my opinion. Salty and grassy notes, plenty of oakiness, but not too much, a little astringency. Somewhat closed at the beginning. The taste is peppery, but at the same time very fruity and sweet, which you don't really hear in the nose

| Нос | 91 | very bright, fruity, sweet and sour, little bit dirty. A lot of tropical fruits, lemonade, some wine and flower notes, vanilla cream |
| Вкус | 90 | not overwhelming Ben Nevis notes, some dirtiness and minerality, rape yellow fruits, some tropical fruits, some flowers, bit soapy |
| Финиш | 90 | pretty long, fruity, bitter, minerality, nice continuation of the taste |
Not the most complex, but in the very fruity line of the other 96/97, with very ripe fruit, a dense and dirty whole. So very pleasant.
I dont get any sweet fruits on it, nor anything tropical, but its like sweet nougat. Hazelnut, clean green vegetation and earth like notes. Still delicious nonetheless.

| Нос | 88 | Sulphurous to begin with, alongside cigarettes and Mandarin orange peel. The sulphur soon disappeared and turned into roasted almonds, sesame seed cookies, caramel, kinder chocolate and dried prunes. Some tiny dried fish after a sip. |
| Вкус | 87 | Dried apricots, ripe pears, diluted milk chocolate, hazelnuts, lemonade, hard candies and dried orange slices. |
| Финиш | 89 | Salted lemon, pith, paraffin, loquats and butter cookies, and finally apple mash. A lot of weakly burnt hay in the background. |

Magnificent whisky. Absolute character of ben nevis The one who drinks knows. Maybe a bit sweet for me, but that's probably because it's an Italian bottler...) In general, everything is very smooth, powerful, and balanced. Nose - 22 Taste - 22 Finish - 22 Balance - 22 Rating - 88

The aroma is generally fruity, but the fruits (apple, pear) are mostly stale, even slightly spoiled, beer, an old barrel, no sherry component was noticed. The taste is sharp and rich. Here, the fruits are more fresh, mealy and sweet, but with a slight sourness. The aftertaste is long. Nice peppery spiciness, a bit of lemon freshness. Ripe apples and climbed here. The barrel is apparently very ancient, and even kept in the dampest corner of the warehouse, but despite the individual details, on the whole it is delicious. 21.5/22/22/22

Glue eaters' Valhalla. Enough said. It seems we are blessed with another nonsense in scoring whisky here, besides that crazy 100 points scale. Now we have our final note strictly bound to the arithmetic average of three factors of enforced equal importance. Who came to the great solution, that it have to be so?... Is the nose really as essential as the taste in terms of whisky analyzing and scoring? Dear God, save us from the tight frames of today's reality...

| Вкус | 91 | Sweet glue |
| Финиш | 90 | Well... more glue, perhaps? |
The nose is creamy fruity, quite rich, you need to let it breathe. 22.5 The taste is oily, fruit-berry, dense. Berry dessert with whipped cream. 23 The aftertaste of the fruit is peppery, long-lasting, not spicy 23 Balance 23
Reminds me of lollipops in a tin box.

We shared a bottle of 0.1 with friends, it was very interesting what kind of Nevis 97 Hisp released with such a high price. This bottle cost us 330€. I want to say right away that I love Nevis very much, but I would not personally buy a bottle of this quality for such money.

| Нос | 88 | The aroma has all the features inherent in Nevis, peach blossom, cream, honey, a little pepper and chalk - this is about good. On the bad - quite stale, as for its age, and there is a noticeable musty note from the barrel, perhaps sulfur. |
| Вкус | 89 | The body is oily, on oranges and apricots, the same chalk and pepper. I can't call it clean, a certain mustiness continues on the palate. |
| Финиш | 89 | Medium to long, creamy apricots. |
An interesting Nevis, but not the best of 1997, is a little disturbed by the annoying mustiness at the finish line. There is probably no point in writing about the price of 330e at the start ... These are not the numbers for which I am ready to buy whisky of this level

| Нос | 90 | Prunes from a dusty attic, dried pears, citrus fruits, ripe peaches and honey. some animal hair, raw skin, sherry, juicy |
| Вкус | 88 | Lemons, ripe fruits, persimmons and melons, tart pears |
| Финиш | 88 | Citrus, roasted nuts and old sherry, unripe apricots, stale fruit, quite long |
A fruit-forward whisky with a balance of sweet fruitiness and rich chocolate/nuttiness. Similar to EVWC's BN, but with more emphasis on the fruit character.

| Нос | 90 | Rich fruit aromas with a hint of overripe fruit, developing into a vanilla cake note after some time. |
| Вкус | 90 | Lush tropical yellow fruits, complemented by hazelnut chocolate. The fusion of fruity sweetness with creamy milk chocolate is well-balanced. |
| Финиш | 89 | Medium, with earthy notes, roasted nuts, and lingering chocolate. |
