Tasting Notes
Ben Nevis 26 Year Old from Forgotten Gems is a truly exceptional whisky that transports you to the rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands. This single malt, distilled in 1996, has been masterfully matured for over two decades, allowing it to develop an exquisite complexity. The nose is a delightful medley of balsamic poached fruits, caramelized sugar, and zesty orange peels, all beautifully complemented by the rich, old oak notes that linger beneath. On the palate, cooked apples and stone fruits mingle with dark currants, while meaty malt and leathery oak bring forth fragrant nuances of peppercorns and tobacco. The finish is a delightful interplay of waxed citrus, earthy barley, and a touch of spicy heat, leaving a lingering warmth on the palate. With only 48 bottles available, this 26-year-old treasure from Ben Nevis is a true gem that whisky enthusiasts won't want to miss.
