Ben Nevis 17 Year Old Bottling Note
Single cask Ben Nevis? Oh, go on then! This bold, beautiful Ben Nevis single malt Scotch whisky was drawn from a single refill bourbon hogshead which was home to the whisky for 17 years, from October 1996 to June 2014. It's been bottled at cask strength (a hearty 51.4% ABV) for our Single Cask Series. You'll definitely want to get your hands on one if you're a Ben Nevis buff, as it's a properly delicious dram of Highland whisky.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose: It opens with decadent crème caramel and sponge cake, before moving on to fragrant potpourri (with a good helping of lavender oil). Leave it in the glass and it develops fruity esters in the shape of wild berry ice-cream and flamed orange peel.
Palate: Coffee beans and light hops, balanced by sweet malt, Parma Violets and red apple skin. Earthy, perhaps almost vegetal at its core.
Finish: Long with classic bourbon-barrel-char and a touch of fresh thyme.
Overall: Well layered and intriguing, it's a unique Ben Nevis for sure.
