Ben Nevis 18 Year Old Single Cask #919

Founded in 1825 at the foothills of the highest mountain of the British Isles and named after the same mountain ‘Ben Nevis’, which also provides a pure and continuous source of spring clean water for the stills. In 1989 the distillery was purchased by the Japanese Whisky company Nikka and has stayed in their hands since. This bottling is from a single cask so is very limited in the number of bottles available. The whiff of green bananas and salted butter, some citrus and almonds will likely greet you, the palate is citrus again with pineapples, ginger and pepper and a long finish of treacle, lemon zest and ginger.
