- Description
- Ben Nevis's 20-year maturation in a refill butt from 1997 to 2017 yields a mature Highland single malt with softened edges and integrated cask influence at natural strength (56.2% ABV implied). The refill cask preserves the distillery's peppery, waxy character while adding layers of dried fruit and subtle oak complexity accumulated across two decades. This limited release (626 bottles) suits collectors and those seeking an older, more contemplative Ben Nevis.
