- Ben Nevis's 1997 vintage, aged 20 years in a single sherry butt and bottled by Kingsbury, showcases the Highland distillery's rich, fruited character when given proper maturation. The sherry cask influence dominates the profile, contributing dried fruit, leather, and warming spice layered over the distillery's naturally sweet, full spirit. Bottled at cask strength across 503 bottles, this is a powerful, concentrated dram. A premium choice for those seeking mature Highland whisky with clear single-cask character.
