Although I don't drink it we did the Ben Nevis distillery tour in Fort William a year ago, I think it was £5 entry to do the tour and at the end you could sample all their whiskys, full shots of them and pretty much as many times as you wanted.

They also gave everyone on the tour a 10% money off voucher and also if you buy a whisky from the shop that does the tastings you also get £8 off the cost of a bottle.

The wife who enjoys the stuff got a bottle of the 10 year old cask strength 57.7% Nevis whisky with the vouchers and money off for £8 a bottle!

It burns too much for my liking but she enjoyed it.

Is it good mixed with coke, like the Jura is?

Takes years to mature then you fuck it up in seconds with Coke !!,  buy the cheap supermarket label stuff if you're going to kill it with Coke !!.

Wouldn't be mixing any single malts with coke tbh. They are too expensive and nice on their own. Save the cola for the Prince Consort or Bell's. Otherwise you're spoiling a decent Whisky Smiley
