The Ben Nevis 1984 Fort William Limited Single Cask Bourbon Sherry Finish is a single malt whisky that embodies a rich and intricate flavor profile. Distilled in December 1984 and matured for 25 years, this exceptional whisky enjoyed its initial 14 years in fresh bourbon barrels before transitioning to sherry butts for an additional 11 years. This maturation process took place at the renowned Ben Nevis distillery, nestled in Fort William, Scotland, at the base of the UK's tallest mountain, Ben Nevis.
This whisky boasts a deep, dark hue and a sophisticated nose with aromas of vanilla, toasted oak, and dried fruit. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, presenting flavors of caramel, dark chocolate, and a whisper of smoke. The finish is long and warming, enriched with notes of dried fruit and a touch of spice.
Bottled at cask strength in May 2010 with an ABV of 55.4%, the release was limited to only 638 bottles. The whisky is beautifully presented in a wooden box, and while the packaging and bottle condition remain excellent, the fill level may have slightly decreased over time.
This Ben Nevis 1984 release has garnered high praise from critics, averaging over 90 points on WhiskyBase.com. The distillery itself, founded in 1825 and initially managed by the McDonald family, has a storied history. Through subsequent ownerships, including Joseph Hobbs and Nikka, the distillery has continued to innovate with new cask-finishes, limited editions, and independent bottlings. This single cask exemplifies the distillery's dedication to quality and craftsmanship.
