The 16th batch of Ben Nevis single malt from That Boutique-y Whisky Company is an age-old masterpiece. This 25-year-old whisky, distilled in 1996 and matured for a quarter of a century, is a testament to traditional whisky-making techniques. Bottled in 2022 as part of the company's 10th birthday series, this limited release features only 726 bottles. Crafted using brewer's yeast in wooden washbacks, it pays homage to the age-old methods of whisky production. On the nose, it exudes a complex bouquet of overripe oranges, waxy shoe polish, sour apple juice, dried fruit, rancio, raisins, sultanas, toasted nuts, balsamic vinegar, and candied orange peel. The palate is equally intricate, with luscious notes of balsamic glaze, dried fruits, leather, tobacco, beeswax, blackberries, smoked meats, and rich earth. The finish is a delightful blend of oily, vegetal, and spicy flavors. Ben Nevis remains one of the few Scottish distilleries to have preserved its traditional style, which has garnered a cult following in recent years. The 1996 vintage is particularly coveted among whisky aficionados. The bottle's label features a stylized illustration of Ben Nevis mountain in a glass, raised in a toast to the company's 10th anniversary. Renowned for its whimsical yet meticulous label designs, That Boutique-Y Whisky Company continues to surprise and delight with each release. This rich and complex expression is a fitting celebration of the TBYWC's decade-long journey in the whisky world.
