Coming Soon - 1998 Lady of the Glen Ben Nevis Single Cask #176 26 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Rare to find nowadays and especially from this vintage: Unpeated Ben Nevis in distinctive form. Soft and winey, like Pinot Gris. Pears, apples, and a low-key spent candle wax note to the nose, hovering below sweet citrus blossoms. Chewy yet rounded, the flavours skew towards a playful tropical-fruit side of Nevis; Nectarine, passionfruit, subtle elderflower and a succulence that's pure joy. Add 5ml of water and those notes persist. Perhaps the only distillery that routinely matches this for grace and style is decades-old Jura. At a naturally low ABV, savour it straight or with no more than a single ice cube or you're probably wasting your money. 276 bottles from a refill hogshead. 43.2% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Notes from the bottlers...  a combination of sweet, spicy and tropical notes. The taste revealed - pineapple, beignets and passion fruit tart.
