Ben Nevis Chapter 7 Single Cask #543 Whisky 8 Year Old · 2013 Vintage
In stock
Built in 1825 Ben Nevis has had many owners. Joseph Hobbs, a spirits smuggler during prohibition, owned the distillery from 1951 to 1981. The distillery is now owned by Asahi Group and one-third of its new make is going into Nikka blends. Ben Nevis has become a victim of its own success with great releases from Indie bottlers. Chapter 7's Highland 19 YO Small Batch has won Whiskies of the World Gold Medal in San Francisco back in 2017. Now, unfortunately Ben Nevis casks are becoming a rare find. This 8 years old bourbon barrel is a great example of what this distillery can deliver at a younger age.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with sunlit honey tones and a warm copper glow.
Nose
Candlewax carries a warm, creamy sweetness that pairs with hazelnuts; cardamom provides subtle spice, while a whisper of Thai basil adds an herbaceous lift.
Palate
Silky vanilla centers the palate, brightened by Williams pear and a subtle note of mezcal. The fruit sweetness stays clean and balanced, with a gentle smoky edge that threads through. A smooth, creamy texture carries hints of spice, finishing long and pear-tinged with a soft, lingering mezcal warmth.
Finish
Long and memorable, the finish unfolds with dark roasted almonds and earthy notes, punctuated by a bright lemon curd lift and a warm, nutty resonance that lingers.
