- Description
- This 1998 Ben Nevis vintage matured for 24 years in a single ex-bourbon hogshead, yielding only 300 bottles when bottled in 2022. Highland distillery character and extended bourbon cask aging create a whisky of considerable maturity and individual cask identity. A limited release for those valuing provenance, rarity, and the singular character single-cask expressions provide.
