A cask strength 24-year-old Ben Nevis 1998, bottled without colouring or chill filtration as the jewel in the crown of the Autumn 2022 outturn from the UK's oldest independent bottlers Berry Brothers & Rudd.
This 1998 Ben Nevis 24-year-old came from a single hogshead cask that yielded 260 bottles at its natural cask strength of 52.6%. Ben Nevis distillery is enjoying a long-overdue moment of glory right now, largely thanks to the outrageous quality of its mid to late 1990s vintages, and demand for this spectacular dram will no doubt be fierce.

Tasting Notes
Official Tasting Notes
Complexity is the order of the day here.
Nose: The nose is at once malty with austere fruit, while a little time in the glass brings out green wine gums, dried pineapple and a very slight wood-smoke note.
Palate: Citrus bursts onto the palate with more tropical fruit, beeswax, cedar and mashed banana. As often with Ben Nevis, the back palate sings with vibrant grapefruit and pineapple fruitiness.
Finish: There’s a touch of spice on the finish along with a slight malty smoky note.
Jonny McMillan Says
“It’s easy to see why Ben Nevis has becoming the darling of the nerdsphere over the last few years; it’s such an wonderfully esoteric, old style distillate; entirely substance over style.
This dram is full of grimy barley and chewy fruits before showing the wonderful explosion of tropicality towards the end of the palate demonstrating perfectly why we all love Ben Nevis.”

An exciting deep rich brown coloured liquid.
A compote of fruit together with dried grapes is lovely on the tongue.
Nicely sweetened syrup is evident too.
Invested in two bottles but will be ordering a third.
Great warming malt enjoyed by two. (One aka Pig)
I know I bought a cask strength whisky but was expecting a nice taste but the strength overpowered the flavor, I found it harsh, but I am not a whiskey conasur. I also bought the secret Orkney signatory cask strength and that was very nice.
