The Ben Nevis 1972 Fort William Limited whisky bottle is a unique and highly sought-after product, with a rich history and a distinct flavor profile. The distillery, founded in 1825 by the entrepreneur 'Long John' McDonald, is located in Fort William under the largest mountain in the UK, Ben Nevis. Known for its oiliness and subtle sweetness, the whisky offers notes of sherry, tobacco, leather, dried fruit, apricot, chocolate, toffee, and hints of earthy tones and cigar leaves, with walnut and hazelnut aromas adding to its complexity.
This particular bottle was distilled in February 1972 and bottled 21 years later in August 1993 at a cask strength of 55.6%. It is a single cask release, yielding just 242 bottles, making it exceptionally rare. The whisky has been matured for 21 years, surprising the palate with new delightful tastes with every sip.
The bottle and packaging are in good condition, although the liquid level may have lowered slightly over time. The rich and complex flavor profile, combined with its unique history and limited availability, make it a highly desirable collectible for whisky connoisseurs. The essence of Ben Nevis is embodied in its purest form, showcasing a strong flavor with peaceful fruit, balanced yet with a brazen stubbornness of the distillate. It is elegant and a real pleasure to enjoy.
