- Description
- Ben Nevis's 27-year-old 1998 vintage, finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry cask, combines the Highland distillery's weighty spirit with rich oxidative maturation. Sherry aging at this length develops deep amber color and concentrated dried fruit character—expect dark caramel, raisin, and warming spice alongside the distillery's inherent weight and oak extraction. The texture will be viscous and mouth-coating, with a long, slightly drying finish. A celebration bottling best savored neat or with minimal water to appreciate the cask's dominant influence.
