- Description
- Ben Nevis's Highland character shines through this 2011 distillate, independently bottled by Alistair Walker after a decade in an ex-Pedro Ximénez sherry hogshead. The sherry cask influence dominates, delivering dark fruit, toffee, and warming spice with a rich, full-bodied texture. The finish lingers with dried fruit and subtle oak notes. A limited release of just 297 bottles, this suits those seeking classic Highland depth with pronounced sherry character.
