About
Ben Nevis, one of Scotland's oldest distilleries founded in 1825, sits at the foot of its namesake mountain in the Highlands. This 1996 hogshead-matured expression showcases the refined elegance and complexity that Highland malts are renowned for. After 27 years of maturation, this whisky has achieved a harmonious balance between fruitiness and oak influence. The nose presents fruity notes with hints of floral honey and subtle waxy characteristics, immediately appealing to the senses. On the palate, it delivers a creamy, well-integrated profile with citrus, vanilla, caramel, and dark chocolate, complemented by warming spice notes of black pepper and cloves. The finish is long and peppery, with mineral undertones and a bittersweet herbal quality that lingers, revealing the true Highland character of this mature malt.
