Cask Description
A 2017 hogshead containing Ben Nevis single malt spirit. At this age, the whisky is developing the distillery’s characteristic depth—fruit, malt richness and subtle earthy notes—while benefiting from the balanced influence of a hogshead. This cask offers a desirable combination of mid-age maturity with strong long-term potential.

• Ripe orchard fruits and light citrus. • Malty richness with soft honey. • Subtle waxy or mineral notes typical of Ben Nevis.
• Light oak influence and gentle spice.
• Slight earthy chracter.
• Full mouthfeel with a balanced finish.

Ben Nevis casks are consistently sought after, especially between 6–10 years old, due to their strong independent bottling reputation and limited availability. A 2017 hogshead is positioned in a highly desirable age bracket, appealing to collectors, bottlers, and buyers seeking high-quality Highland stock with distinctive character.

Ben Nevis Distillery, based in Fort William at the foot of its namesake mountain, is known for producing a robust, complex spirit with strong character. The distillery’s output is highly regarded by independent bottlers and enthusiasts due to its rich, slightly waxy, sometimes earthy profile. Ben Nevis is regularly in high demand on the private cask market due to limited availability and strong reputation.

• Private buyers.
• Independent bottlers.
• Collectors seeking high-demand distillery stock.
• Buyers wanting mid-age casks with excellent maturation prospects.

• Price excludes duty, VAT and bottling costs.
• Cask stored under bond in Scotland.
• Full ownership transferred to the buyer.
• No licence required to own a cask in the UK.
• Full documentation (including OLA/ABV available on request).
