- Description
- Ben Nevis distilled in 2012 and aged for ten years in a Cabernet Franc wine cask, this Highland single malt brings an unusual red wine influence to the distillery's typically robust character. The wine cask maturation introduces dark berry notes, dried fruit, and a wine-like astringency alongside the distillery's natural honey and spice. Bottled at natural cask strength, this limited release of 270 bottles delivers the full impact of both distillery character and wood influence. A compelling exploration of Ben Nevis through an unconventional cask choice.
