1999 The Whisky Agency Ben Nevis (bottled for Casa De Vinos) 17 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

If you missed out on the Whisky Agency 19 Year Old Ben Nevis a short time ago, here's another opportunity. This time an indie bottling especially for Melbourne based whisky importer, 'Casa de Vinos'. Distilled in 1999, matured in a refill hogshead and bottled in 2016, expect a big, bold, beautiful Benny, packed with juicy fruit and malt flavours. Less than a handful of bottles available.

Notes from Casa de Vinos: Nose: Strawberry shortcake, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and sweet spice fill your nose initially, closely followed by candied orange, candy cane, touch of wood char, and black Plum. Palate: The mouthfeel is silky and oily with sweet sherry malt being prominent. Sweet spice, pepper, floral notes of elderflower and violet also dance across your tongue. Sweet sponge cake and dark plum fruits carry throughout to the end. Finish: The finish is long, starting peppery and finishing fresh. 50.9% Alc./Vol.
