Ben Nevis Port Wood Finish Single Cask #031001 Whisky 13 Year Old · 1990 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-amber with mahogany undertones and a warm ruby glow.

Nose

Opulent port-finished aromas rise in a lush chorus: red plums, cherries and raisins mingle with fig and blackberry, while dark chocolate, toffee and orange zest weave through velvet malt. Warm cinnamon and clove spice, with polished oak and a touch of caramel, complete an elegant, heady perfume.

Palate

Rich, full-bodied and opulent, with dark-fruit depth from the Port finish—ripe plum, fig, black cherry and a touch of raisin. Velvety sweetness meets toasted oak, cocoa and a hint of espresso. Spices drift in—cinnamon, clove, vanilla. A generous, warming finish lingers with subtle tannins and long fruit-driven afterglow.

Finish

Port-finished and stately, the finish opens with dark berry, fig, and prune, caressed by a sugar-kissed, chocolatey depth. Spices—clove and cinnamon—join warm oak as the sweetness slowly recedes, leaving a long, velvety warmth and a touch of cocoa.
