Ben Nevis 24 YO 1998 Hogshead Milroys Vintage Reserve

Ben Nevis 24 Year Old 1998 Hogshead Vintage Reserve #1219 46.8% 70cl

Milroy’s Vintage Reserve collection was created to bottle classic, distillate-forward expressions from remarkable makers. We’re proud to add this gloriously aged, 24-year-old hogshead-matured Ben Nevis bottling to the series. The West Highland distillery is known for its oily texture and rich mouthfeel which is apparent here, alongside vibrant tropical fruits and traditional boiled sweets. It’s a delight to explore.

Tasting note:

Nose: Fresh, zesty and crisp, rhubarb and custard sweets, fresh pineapple and sherbet lemons leap from the glass.

Palate: Cut grass, gorse flower, coconut and vanilla cream arrive, followed by crème brûlée, cinnamon, and a gentle dusting of ginger. 

Finish: Medium length with those lingering sweet spices.
