Description

December 1998 is where this whisky's story begins... Distilled at Ben Nevis, this single malt spent an impressive 26 years maturing, beginning in a refill hogshead, and finishing off in a rum barrique before it was bottled by yours truly. Juicy, balanced, and complex, the rum cask has brought tropical notes of estery fruit alongside the vibrant barley at its core. A total of 301 bottles join our own Master of Malt collection, as always, without added colour or chill filtration.

Nose
Nose. Juicy! Barley water, ripe fruit funk, and yeasty bread dough. Apples and pears are joined by tropical notes of tangy pineapple, creamy lemon curd, and Madeira cake. Palate. Soft, creamy, sweet, and balanced. A fizz of sugary sherbet bursts through at the start, opening the way for bright notes of papaya, melon, and pear. Finish. Supremely moreish, fresh, fruity, juicy, with vibrant barley, buttery oak, gentle spice, a hint of liquorice, a floral touch of Parma Violets, and lingering creamy depth.
