Celtic folklore is built upon a tradition of oral storytelling passed down through the generations; few tales have sent audiences to such restless sleep than that of the deathly bark of the Spirit Dog, known as the Cù-Sìth (pronounced Coo Shee).
A murderous hound of terrifying stature, with a dishevelled, braided coat, emanating an unearthly green glow, the Cù-Sìth patrols the remote Scottish hills and nests in the clefts of rock in the Highlands. During the darkness of night, it descends into the misty Glens to prey upon weary and lost travellers.
Catching scent of human prey, the Cù-Sìth sounds a bloodcurdling whine, an omen of death, leaving petrified every man or woman upon whose ears it falls. It is said that any soul who hears the wild dog bark three times will be transported by the Cù-Sìth far into the silence of the hills, into the underworld of demons and fairies, never to return.
The peaks of Scotland’s tallest mountain loom large over the Ben Nevis distillery where many may have fallen victim to the Cù-Sìth’s fearful bray. How many people have heard that howl and locked themselves away, reaching for a stiff drink to steady their nerves?
The region is home to another indomitable spirit, whose age also spans generations.
The Ben Nevis 45 Year Old Whisky
In the shadow of the highest mountain of the British Isles, we discovered the exceptional liquid that was to become the first expression in our series. After distillation in 1972, this whisky spent 45 years maturing in a sherry hogshead before being bottling in 2017.
The single cask expression yielded 228 bottles, a release that is sure to be a sellout and become a highly sought collectible.
COLOUR: Deep amber, with copper lights.
NOSE: Mild nose-feel. A massive fruity aroma immediately emerges – fresh fruit salad, including pineapple and mango, developing into lemon sherbet sweets – with a perfumed middle (scented oil, aroma therapy oil), on a base of vanilla fudge. It holds its aroma very well in the development, the fudge edging towards treacle toffee.
TASTE: A smooth texture, with a fresh, sweet taste overall, a touch of crisp acidity and a long, lightly warming finish. A faint aftertaste of sandalwood.
This product is being sold on behalf of a private client. As such no vat can be claimed back.
