This 1991 vintage Ben Nevis was bottled after 31 years in an Oloroso Sherry Butt at 61.2%. Bottled under Hunter Laing's Old & Rare - A Platinum Selection. This whisky was originally priced at nearly $2500 retail, but we talked them down to a more reasonable price point... 89pts Whisky Fun *& 88.55pts Whiskybase.
700 ml Low StockProducer Tasting Note
"This amber coloured whisky is very rich and concentrated on the note with drak fruits - plums, blackberries - combined with been stock. The darkest chocolate and a slight rubberiness. Very savoury on the palate with more beef stoc along with herbal-amaro type notes and a rich, European oak influence. Long, lingering and complex on the finish."
89pts Whisky Fun
"A very high strength at 31 years of age! Colour: gold. Nose: whiffs of hard-boiled eggs for starters (sulphur) and white wine must, but it's all becoming more normal then, with dried apples, artisan mead, chalk and clay, cider and many breads, brown, white, pumpernickel, then bouillons and soups, chocolate sauce, mustard, red cabbage, leek, even horseradish… With water: leathery mustard and a new box of Cuban cigars, which is all pretty BN, we agree. And peppered marmalade. Mouth (neat): flints, wasabi and mustard, plus the strongest 'honey' sauce they have in China. And chen-pi. With water: honey and onion sauce, leek, caramel, malt extract, bitter herbs, liquorice wood and propolis (a lot of black propolis!) Finish: long, with some old Parmesan cheese and mimolette, balsamico, marmalade and thick tarry honeys. But do thick tarry honeys even exist? Comments: this is free malt whisky as in free jazz. Harmolodic whisky, shall we say; we're not afraid of dissonant whiskies, are we. I'd love to go to 90 but I'm thinking of my friends and believe it would be just impossible. SGP:562 - 89 points."

The Whisky Sponge Label returns from the dead! Only to be unceremoniously killed off once more directly after this bottling. 55% ABV Ben Nevis from a 2nd fill sherry butt filled in 1996.
Producer Description
"After a very long gap, Whisky Sponge Edition No.58b is finally here. It's rather fitting that this will be the very last Sponge bottling we'll release. Forever. (Probably).
This is the second half of the same butt of Ben Nevis 1996 we bottled as Edition No. 58a, only this one has been finished in a 2nd fill sherry butt for just over two years. We bottled it with even slighter reduction this time, at 55%. It tastes like Optimus Prime after an intense workout while wearing a sheep wool cardigan in a cosmic potting shed."
