Rare Ben Nevis Distilled in 1998, Limited to 149 Bottles - A Must-See Vintage Single Cask for OMC Fans

From the Hunter Laing Old Malt Cask (OMC) series comes a Ben Nevis distilled in 1998 and aged for 16 years. Meticulously matured in a sherry butt, this is a rare single malt whisky limited to just 149 bottles. It comes in a 700ml bottle with a high proof of 50% alcohol by volume, allowing the individuality of the original spirit to shine through.

Among the OMC series, Ben Nevis spirits from the 1990s are particularly highly regarded, and in recent years have often only been released in the higher-end "OLD & RARE" range. This product, however, is a rare release within the OMC series. Furthermore, this particular batch is a special one that was bottled locally 10 years ago and then stored for a long period, and has only now been released.

[Tasting Notes]
The nose offers rich aromas of cacao, orange, and dark chocolate.
The palate harmonizes red berries, lemon, and rosemary, creating a complex and well-balanced structure.
The finish is long and dry, with a subtle hint of oak.

This bottle is recommended not only for fans of the OMC series and the Ben Nevis distillery, but also for all whisky enthusiasts who appreciate vintage single casks.
