Ben Nevis1996 ED The First Editions
Summary
This single malt whisky, distilled in 1996 and aged for 24 years, hails from the Ben Nevis distillery in Scotland.

The extended aging process has allowed this whisky to develop a complex and mature character, making it a distinguished choice for connoisseurs and novices alike.
The whisky presents a deep, rich profile that is characteristic of long-aged spirits. The maturation in oak casks has imparted a robust sweetness and layers of dried fruit flavors. This complexity is balanced by subtle hints of oak and vanilla, creating a harmonious and well-rounded experience.
On the nose, one can expect a bouquet of rich prunes and aged sherry, complemented by undertones of antique wood. The palate follows with a symphony of dried figs and oak spices, leading to a finish that is both lingering and satisfying. This whisky is a testament to the craftsmanship and patience required to produce a truly exceptional spirit.
