Ben Nevis 17 Year Old 1996 - Single Cask (Master of Malt)
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, as it's a properly delicious dram of Highland whisky.
Just 34 bottles were produced.
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.
