2004 19 Year Old Spheric Spirits C#536

About

This Ben Nevis from 2004 is a refined expression from this highly regarded Scottish distillery. Bottled by Spheric Spirits after 19 years of maturation in a refill barrel, this single malt showcases the distillery's classic waxy and fruity character. At 45.3% ABV, it strikes an excellent balance between depth and elegance. The nose reveals a clean, mineral-forward profile with hints of wet pebbles and petrichor, complemented by subtle sweet notes of raw honey, cantaloupe, and grapefruit. On the palate, soft salinity enhances a gentle fruitiness highlighted by preserved lemon, papaya, and dried apricots, with delicate pastry notes and a whisper of charred oak. The finish is of medium length, with lingering tropical notes and mild herbal undertones that underscore the whisky's refined character.
