Description
Ben Nevis' 1996 vintage spent twenty-four years in an ex-sherry butt before being bottled by The Whisky Jury at cask strength (52.8%) to mark their second anniversary. The extended sherry maturation has developed rich chocolate, dried fruits, and a leathery earthiness from mature oak, creating a complex, weighty profile. At over two decades in wood, this expression balances sherry depth with the distillery's characteristic honey and full-bodied structure. A measured, contemplative dram suited to slow sipping by those who value patience and maturation craft.
