Ben Nevis Single Cask Cask Strength Whisky 25 Year Old · 1984 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished amber with copper-red and mahogany undertones, a rich sherry glow that glints like sunset in a crystal glass.

Nose

Opulent sherry-soaked aromas unfold in waves: dark plum, dried fig and date mingle with treacle and orange zest. Vanilla and cocoa nibs emerge from glossy oak, while burnt sugar adds a caramel sheen. Spices of clove, cinnamon and nutmeg warm the nose, with subtle leather and tobacco lending refined, aged depth to this Ben Nevis single-cask.

Palate

Full-bodied and luxurious, this cask-strength Ben Nevis pours with sherried depth. Dark fruits—figs, raisins, dates, and candied cherries—layer over a velvety mix of toffee, cocoa and treacle. Walnut and leather notes emerge, joined by warming spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—against toasted oak. The finish is long and warming, with lingering fruit, spice and a refined sherry glow.

Finish

An enduring, sherried finish that lingers with luxurious warmth. Dried dark fruits—raisin, fig, date—unfold with toasted almond, cocoa nib and a whisper of leather, carried by spicy oak and orange zest as it slowly fades.
