Product Description
Released at Whisky Show 2019 as part of our Magic of the Cask series, this 1996 Ben Nevis single malt has spent 22 years in a single refill sherry butt, before being bottled in 2019. Aromas of cherries, sultanas and raisins fill the nose, alongside sherry-soaked fruit cake and a gentle, earthy backdrop. The palate offers notes of sweet fruit, dark chocolate, leather, brown sugar and sweet spices.

Tasting Notes
Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange
Nose
Fruit rolls out of the glass – cherries, sultanas and raisins – with oloroso-sherry-soaked fruit cake not far behind. Damp leaves and rich earth provide a savoury backdrop, with fruit sweetness dancing on top.
Palate
Sweet and fruity, with a thick and dark backbone chocolate and leather. Dried cherries, apple rings and sultanas are sprinkled with brown sugar while a river of molasses and fruity dark chocolate flows underneath. Soft and sweet spice sits on top like a light blanket, with hints of old oak and forest floor slowly building.
Finish
Sweet chocolate cake slowly becomes bittersweet. Dried cherries and apples linger
