Ben Nevis 1984 | 25 Year Old | Cask 98/35/13

Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Here we have the second run of 25 year olds from Ben nevis with a yield of 638 bottles having spent almost 14 years in fresh Bourbon casks, then re-racked in a fresh Sherry butts. This kind of 'double maturing' is much less common that the lazier practice of finishing but also much more successful. This is a great example of how it often works so well. The bourbon and sherry characters have had plenty time to integrate and balance out very well. The result is a fresh, complex and full flavoured expression of Ben Nevis that balances dried fruits, vanilla, spice, meaty notes, coal and minerals very beautifully.
