About the Westie Sponge Edition No.5 Ben Nevis 1998 25 Year Old 50.8% ABV 700ml
Westie Sponge Five is the final entry in this series and contains a 1998 25 year old single refill hogshead of Ben Nevis, bottled at natural cask strength. It also matured its entire life at the distillery for added ‘Westieness’.
We absolutely love this wee series and, truth be told, we could have gone on with it. But seeing as we did that Springbank 1999 in different glass as number Three, the only way to achieve visual symmetry with the series was to stop at Five. And we do appreciate visual symmetry!
But it’s a great way to stop and, after all, less is often more. Angus was determined to include a Ben Nevis in this series and it feels like a very fitting way to conclude it, with this most iconic of West Highland makes. It’s a beautiful and extremely pure example of Ben Nevis, very mineral, waxy and with lovely citrus and white fruit character. It’s old style, highland, distillate-driven malt whisky.
