- Description
- Ben Nevis's 21-year-old from 1994, matured in a refill sherry hogshead from May 1994 to August 2015, was bottled at natural cask strength (49.2% ABV) with no chill filtration, yielding 296 bottles. Two decades in wood would have mellowed the Highland distillery's robust character into something richer and more integrated.
