About
Ben Nevis 2005 BA is a robust Highland single malt bottled by Blackadder as a single cask at cask strength. This 17-year-old expression, matured in bourbon casks, displays the characteristic mineral elegance and greasy, viscous texture that define Ben Nevis's distillery character. The nose reveals bright, clean fruit notes—apple, pear, and citrus peel—with vanilla and a golden thread of honey. The palate is sweet and fruity with a creamy, mineral-driven spiciness, complemented by peach and subtle grape notes. The finish remains austere and dry, with lingering red fruit and a peppery edge. At 56.1% ABV, this cask-strength bottling delivers excellent intensity and complexity, showcasing the distillery's trademark oily, textured malt.
