Ben Nevis 19 Years Old 1996 First Edition 70cl

Ben Nevis 19 Years Old 1996 First Edition is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky.

This release was distilled in 1996 and matured for 19 years, bottled in 2016, bottled at 50%, with an outturn of just 34 bottles.

Nose: Ripe fruit, honeyed sweetness and inviting depth.
Palate: Layered depth, joined by gentle spice, building in intensity.
Finish: Long and layered, closing on long finish.

Best enjoyed neat, with just a drop of water to unlock the full aroma. Collector’s note: only 34 bottles exist; its single cask identity makes every bottle part of a finite run. A strong candidate for the cabinet as much as the glass.
