Whisky Sponge Edition No.58A Ben Nevis 1996 25 Year Old (70cl, 53%)

Edition No.58A from Whisky Sponge is a single malt from Ben Nevis, distilled in 1996 and bottled after 25 years. It comes from the first half of a refill butt, reduced to 53% ABV to bring out a slightly fruitier palate. In this edition the Sponge interviews his older self about his successes, failures and unrequited vengeances. The style is a highland malt driven by the distillate, with a refill character that is pure, naked and invigorating. The reduction to 53% gives a slightly fruitier palate.
