Ben Nevis 1996 25 Years Old (Rum Cask)

Ben Nevis, a Highland distillery with deep roots in Scottish whisky tradition, presents this 25-year-old single malt from 1996 as a testament to patient maturation. Aged in rum casks, this whisky has developed considerable complexity and refinement, displaying a deep golden hue. The nose reveals subtle fruity character with hints of floral honey, citrus, and a waxy minerality.

On the palate, creamy and buttery notes emerge alongside tropical fruits—nectarines, peaches, and apricots—with underlying vanilla and a touch of spice. The finish is medium-long and wine-like, returning to delicate red fruit notes with a whisper of ginger and white pepper, concluding with elegant dryness.
