Ben Nevis Lady Of The Glen Single Cask #1407 Whisky 16 Year Old · 1998 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery sheen and mahogany undertones; a warm, honeyed golden-brown.

Nose

Opulent sherry-driven aroma, with dark raisin and fig giving way to treacle and cocoa nib. Orange zest, dried cherry, and toasted almond thread through vanilla and polished oak. Warm spice—cinnamon and clove—adds a subtle heat, yielding a rich, inviting perfume that hints at the depth to come.

Palate

Silky and full on the palate, this Ben Nevis embraces a sherried sweetness with dark fruit depth—prune, raisin and black cherry—twining with fig and orange zest. Rich toffee, cacao and a touch of espresso unfold against a spice-laden core of cinnamon and clove, all wrapped in velvety oak. A long, warming finish with a subtle maritime salinity and lingering sweetness.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish, sherry-kissed and inviting, with dried fig and raisin fruit, orange zest and dark chocolate. Spices—cinnamon and nutmeg—twine through the oak, fading slowly into a refined, warming glow that lingers on the palate.
