One of two Boutique-y Ben Nevis releases to hit our shores, distilled in that magical ear of the late 1990s. This one is almost certainly a single cask, even though the Boutique-y guys only do "small batch" releases. 21 years and 48.5%.
Producer Description: "Our fifteenth batch from the Ben Nevis distillery is a 21 Year Old, a release of just 143 bottles at 48.5% abv."
About the Label (Larger Label Under the Tasting Note)
"Now, if you take a look at the label of our Ben Nevis, you’ll see a chap atop Ben Nevis (mountain), looking at Ben Nevis (distillery), drinking Ben Nevis (whisky) and holding Ben Nevis (bottle), which features the scene again on its label. It’s like one of those eternal loop thought experiments...Ok it’s also known as the Droste Effect."
0 mlProducer Tasting Note
Nose: orange milk chocolate wrapper with the perfect balance of light and shade.
Palate: Chocolate orange again on the palate but it explodes into a firework of bright and bitter zesty citrus that fades to reveal more complex malty biscuity undertones.
Finish: Pleasing freshness lingers on with a certain red fruit jaminess emerging which leaves the lips smacking.
That Boutique-y Whisky Company (TBWC) is part of the Atom Group, which also owns the UK retailer Master of Malt and a number of other subsidiaries. They are a dynamic and innovative firm, who by example invented the Whisky Advent Calendar concept. Established in 2012, TBWC is famous for its playful and colourful labels, which often feature prominent whisky industry figures, tell a story, and or elude to an inside joke. The labels are typically laced with hidden elements and "Easter Eggs."
TBWC bottles whiskies from around the world, though the bulk of their offerings are of Scottish origin. Most of their offerings are small-batch releases, Blended Malts, and Blends. Their "Head of Whisky" is Canadian Sam Simmons.
We are big fans of not only their whimsical labels but also the consistently high standard of liquid they bottle.
