- Description
- Ben Nevis's 1996 distillate spent 25 years in a refill sherry butt, emerging as a rich, chocolaty single cask bottled by Milroy's of London. The nose reveals coffee, raisins, and banana chips, while the palate develops chocolate and almond pastries with a full, warming texture. This is a mature Highland whisky for those who appreciate the marriage of time and sherry's influence.
