Description
This Ben Nevis release from Cadenhead in September 2024 is one fantastic whisky. Aged for 11 quiet years in bourbon casks, the whisky is a floral, merry-go-round with that signature Nevis ‘funk’ that stands tall amongst the Original Collection range.

Cadenhead’s description of the spirit as “Our tasting panel identified notes of apple strudel, icing sugar, gooseberries and barley sugar in this 11-year-old dram from the Highland distillery. This Original Collection bottling allows the spirit to speak for itself’.

About Ben Nevis distillery.
The Ben Nevis distillery was founded in 1825 by John MacDonald as an independent enterprise and is located in Fort William, Scotland at the base of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles, which rises to 1,345m above sea level. A coastal distillery in the Western Highlands, Ben Nevis draws its water from the Allt a’Mhuilinn which originates from two pools on Ben Nevis, Coire Leis and Coire na’Ciste. The distillery is owned by Nikka Whisky Distilling of Tokyo, Japan, since 1989.
