Distillery Profile

Taste rating:4

Region: West Highland

Rich, chocolatey and a little smoky.

Owner: Nikka of Japan



Ben Nevis OB 25yo 55.4%alc. Ben Nevis OB 25yo 55.4%alc.

A single cask bottling of 638 bottles, distilled in 1984 and re-racked from bourbon casks to a sherry cask in 1998, bottled in May.

It’s no secret we love special Ben Nevis bottlings, great presentation and a very fair price. Cask No. 98/35/13 continues this tradition with an interesting variant on the last.

This dram is big, my notes say “many things”, referring to the myriad of sherry-wood characters; oak, bitterness, woodiness, smouldering matches. Big sherry-wood notes, bananas, ash, greenhouses (geraniums). Well balanced with a coffee, earthy & oranges finish.

Overall it’s a little clumsy but a sherry-fan’s ace.

A great dram, rich and oily with a wee reek of peat, a real West Highlander.

Initially it's soy sauce but once you get past that it's astonishingly complex and varied with a final memory of a perfect Christmas pudding! In between that we found: vinegar, coffee and cocoa, elderberries, liquorice, cinnamon, snuff (James Robertson Justice's mix), oak (eventually) and some emulsion paint. That wonderful Xmas pud is first on the tongue then tobacco with a well-balanced oily swallow.

A wonderfully complex flavoursome dram with a nice tannic port-like finish. Ace.

How strong was it when filled into the (bourbon) barrel? There's plenty of nose prickle, hard to get enough water into it. Once palatable there is plenty of fruit peaches and pears, acetone, (pear drops) and slight chocolate. Very reminiscent of the 40yo blend (see below). A hoor'o a powerful dram.
