BEN NEVIS 15 ans 1998 Sherry Butt

When Ben Nevis has so much personality and originality, one thing is certain, the word ‘boring’ is not on the agenda. This cask strength whisky aged in sherry casks is a relatively rare vintage, as well as being difficult to figure out. The only thing predictable about it is its unpredictability. Shunning consensus, this bottling has left the beaten track proclaiming to all: let those who love me follow me. The distinctive character of Ben Nevis is undoubtedly present in this release with its pervasive notes of exotic fruits. For such a young vintage it is particularly mature, almost astringent. Not far off perfect!
