Ben Nevis in all its well-aged brilliance here, and this one is extra good because it was picked by us! Distilled in 1996, this single malt spent the next 26 years resting in a refill butt, it makes an irresistible addition to our exclusive Master of Malt collection. A release of 222 bottles.

Juicy, sweet notes of peaches and apples join creamy grist, Malted Milk biscuits, and buttered sourdough, with vanilla fudge, and butterscotch sweetness.
Rich, sweet old oak welcomes the way, with soft stone fruits and trickles of toffee cushioning gently warming spice. Cracked black pepper, a dusting of cinnamon, and ripe, tangy plums join creamy notes of white chocolate buttons.
Chewy tannins prevail while not overpowering the robust, juicy barley, with vanilla cream and gingery heat lingering in splendid balance.
I won this in a Master of Malt competition and it is such a good whisky - well balanced and a complete pleasure.
