- Description
- Ben Nevis's 2019 distillate matured five years in refill Oloroso Sherry butts and bottled at 57.1% ABV by Signatory, emphasizing youthful peat smoke without excessive wood age. Heavy peat dominates with maritime minerality, salt, and subtle smoke complemented by dried fruit from the Oloroso without overwhelming the spirit. The texture is clean and focused, with proof providing intensity and grip. Suited to peated whisky enthusiasts seeking young, peaty character at cask strength.
