Description
This 7-year-old, 2012 vintage Ben Nevis was laid to rest (full term) in a second fill sherry butt giving a lovely earthy, leafy and waxy profile with bags of gorgeous distillery character. Bottled at this series’ trademark 48.5%, it’s youthful and gutsy, oozing in west Highland character.

Independent bottler, Angus MacRaild comments:
“Ben Nevis is one of our favourite contemporary Scottish single malts. A west highland distillery that still produces a richly charismatic and distinctive whisky that works terrifically at old and younger ages. Which is why we opted to go with this younger example for our Autumn E&S release”

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.
