Ben Nevis Single Cask #605 Whisky 26 Year Old · 1972 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany depth and a coppery glow.

Nose

Opulent aromas of dried fig and raisin mingle with orange zest and dark chocolate. Sherried warmth coats polished oak, releasing toasted almond, cacao nibs and a measured spice of cinnamon and clove, with hints of vanilla and tobacco lingering in a silky, resinous finish.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied on the palate, this Ben Nevis layers dried fig and plum with dark chocolate, coffee and toasted almond. Sherry maturity adds velvety sweetness, while oak brings spice—cinnamon and clove—warming into a long, sophisticated finish.

Finish

Long, elegant finish with a warming caress. Dark chocolate and espresso meld with dried orange peel and fig, while cinnamon and clove weave through mellow oak. A resinous undertone of tobacco and toasted almond lingers, letting the sweetness recede into a persistent, refined spice-and-nut finale.
