Cask Description
Distilled in 2013, this Ben Nevis single malt was matured for the majority of its life in a first-fill bourbon hogshead before being re-racked into an Oloroso sherry hogshead in December 2025, a carefully considered step designed to add depth and complexity while preserving the distillery’s distinctive character. At regauge, the cask held 121.8 RLA at a natural cask strength of 58.1% ABV, highlighting excellent spirit quality and retention. This cask presents a compelling luxury investment opportunity, combining distillery pedigree, high natural strength, disciplined cask management and clear strategic optionality for continued maturation, premium bottling or private resale.

Rich and expressive, opening with creamy vanilla, honeyed malt and soft coconut, followed by ripe pear and baked apple. The palate is full-bodied and balanced, with vanilla fudge, caramelised sugar and stewed fruit, complemented by subtle Oloroso notes of dried fig, sultana, toasted nuts and gentle baking spice. The finish is long and warming, with cocoa, oak spice, dried fruit and a faint maritime salinity, showcasing excellent spirit quality and depth.

Established in 1825 at the foot of Scotland’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis Distillery is widely recognised as one of Scotland’s most respected and character-driven producers. Its robust, traditional spirit style has earned enduring demand from independent bottlers and private collectors, with mature stocks becoming increasingly scarce. Casks offering both strong regauged figures and suitability for secondary maturation are particularly sought after.
