Ben Nevis 1997 Private Vintage 
 
Ben Nevis is one of the distilleries that define Highland Single Malt. It was built at the foot of the highest mountain in the British Isles and close to the coast in Western Highlands. It draws only the finest from its surroundings. Being in business since the beginning of the 19th century, this distillery has seen its share of innovation and played a major role in creating many of the finest Scottish Blends.
 
What earned our almost impossible-to-earn seal of approval, is that they still make their Single Malt the same way they did all those years ago… A true Highlander that has the power to turn any doubter into a believer. 
 
The 2nd edition is just that: Whisky aged in a single cask for 18 years, no experimentation, no excuse —
an eternal classic.

Whisky distilling goes way back to 1494 when the first recorded batch was made by a posse of monks who acquired about 60 gallons of barley and decided to turn it into "aqua vitae". They created the first 1,500 bottles of Scotch in History.
Beer and malt Whisky seem to have quite a bit in common. Both drinks begin with malted barley, which deliver the enzymes and sugars needed for fermentation when steeped in hot water. The two go their separate ways at the wash stage, where they're fermented or aged to become the adult beverages you know and love.
Categories of Scotch Whisky: Single malt, Blended malt (formerly called Vatted malt), blended, single grain and blended grain Scotch.
Scotland is home to more than 20 million casks of maturing Whisky. That’s four for every person living there. Nuts!
Long John blended Scotch -- one of the rarest and most expensive blended Whiskies -- is named after Long John McDonald.
First-class Whiskies are taxed not only by the state but also by the angels. This refers to the 4% of Whisky that evaporates from the barrels every year, a phenomenon known as the angel’s share.
