- Description
- Ben Nevis' 22-year-old 1996 vintage spent its maturation in a refill sherry butt, developing the rich, dried-fruit character associated with sherry-aged Highlanders. Bottled at 44.4% ABV by independent bottler Thompson Bros., this single cask release yielded just 561 bottles. A substantial, warming dram suited to winter evenings or those seeking older Highland whisky with sherry depth.
