Ben Nevis 27YO 1996

Nestled at the foot of its namesake mountain, Ben Nevis Distillery has long been revered for its robust Highland single malts, crafted with time-honoured methods and an unwavering commitment to tradition. The distillery, founded in 1825, continues to draw on the purity of its local water source and the cool, misty climate of the West Highlands to shape its characterful whiskies.

The "Ben Nevis 1996" is a testament to this legacy. Matured in a refill hogshead for 27 years, it reveals a nose rich with stewed orchard fruits, toasted barley, and soft spice. The palate unfolds with layers of honeyed malt, waxy citrus peel, and a gentle mineral edge, culminating in a long, warming finish laced with oak and dried fruit. A Highland classic—elegant, complex, and deeply satisfying.
