Ben Nevis 25 Year Old Tasting Notes

Selim's tasting notes

Nose: Stone dust, candle wax, tobacco, honey, tangerine, marzipan and dark chocolate.

Palate: Beeswax, bitter orange, apple juice, strong cappuccino, white pepper, apple pie, cinnamon.

Ed's review

Nose: Opens with an earthy, slightly rustic edge. Think dry tobacco leaf and old library shelves. That mellows into warm honey and orange oil, with a subtle waxiness in the background. There’s also a rich, nutty sweetness, like chocolate-dipped marzipan—with just a wisp of citrus zest lifting it.

Palate: Silky and full-bodied, with a lovely balance of sweetness and spice. Bitter orange peel and stewed apples up front, followed by creamy coffee and a pinch of white pepper. As it develops, a hint of buttery pastry and gentle cinnamon spice brings to mind a warm fruit tart.

Finish: Lingering and comforting, with notes of dark chocolate, orchard fruit, and just a touch of oak and spice to keep it grounded.

About this Chapter 7 Whisky

Chapter 7 released this superb 25-year-old single malt from Ben Nevis as part of their Monologue range, selected by founder Selim Evin. Distilled in November 1998 and bottled in December 2023, this Highland whisky was matured in a single bourbon hogshead (cask 1396), allowing Ben Nevis’s robust and slightly waxy character to shine through with layers of honeyed malt, citrus peel, and gentle oak spice. Bottled at 49.8% ABV with natural colour and no chill filtration, the cask yielded just 216 bottles. This is a mature, complex dram with real depth and Highland charm.

How much is shipping?

Shipping charges are calculated during checkout, depending on where you live and how many bottles you’re buying. It's usually more cost effective to ship two or more bottles, particularly for international orders. The perfect excuse to treat yourself to an extra bottle!

What about taxes?

All alcoholic products sold by TopWhiskies are sold subject to UK alcohol tax, which is already included in the price.

UK sales are subject to VAT (currently 20%), which is included in the price. Sales outside of the UK are not subject to this tax, and international prices do not include it.

We use a specialist US shipper who sorts out US taxes. These costs are factored into the US shipping charges. So shipping may look pricey, but remember it covers your taxes as well, so there'll be no further bills to pay.

For all other territories, including those in Europe, please note: your order could be subject to local sales taxes and duties upon arrival in the destination country. All additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient. As customs policies vary widely from country to country, TopWhiskies has no control over these charges, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. If you refuse to pay any import duties and taxes, this could result in the goods being destroyed by customs or being returned back to us - any refund offered would include a deduction of our costs.

Which couriers do you use?

In the UK we use Royal Mail, Parcelforce and APC. US orders are sent via UPS. International orders use FedEx and DHL. Orders are despatched from our UK warehouse Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays.

Single Cask Whisky from Independent Bottler Chapter 7

Meet The Founder

Selim Evin

Selim Evin's love affair with whisky began as a teenager when he accompanied his grandfather on a trip to Scotland. Visiting various distilleries, he was fascinated by both the art of whisky making and the stories behind the whiskies. This early experience left an indelible mark on him, igniting a passion that would later earn him the nickname "Malt Chaser."

In 2013, he made the bold decision to leave a successful business behind and pursue his true calling. He founded Chapter 7, an independent bottler that combined his passion for whisky with his love for literature. The name "Chapter 7" was inspired by the seven ages of man from Shakespeare's works. It symbolises the stages of life that whisky goes through, each stage telling a different story.

Selim's curiosity, commitment to quality, and pursuit of unique whiskies shine through all his whiskies.
