About
Details

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.
