Ben Nevis's 1996 vintage spent 24 years in refill sherry butt before Milroy's bottled it at 50.2% ABV, allowing the Highland spirit's weight to develop without new wood's aggressive influence. The maturation builds flavours of plum pudding, preserved citrus, and toffee into a bold, rich framework defined by the cask's patient influence rather than oak dominance. Silky in texture despite its age and proof, the finish carries spiced warmth. A substantial dram for those valuing patience and restraint in cask selection.
