Ben Nevis 13 year old Scotch Whisky Collectors Malt


Limited Edition Bottled and released in 2004, Distilled in 1990.

This single malt was first filled into refill hogsheads on 9th November 1990.

It was then transferred into a port bodega butt number 03/10/01on 12th February 2003 and allowed to mature for a further 12 months.

During this time it would absorb the sweet flavour of the port and take on this unusual yet lovely deep ruby red colour.

The bottle was signed by the Distillery Manager on 24th March 2004 and is bottle number 88 of 800.

Ben Nevis Single Malt Scotch Whisky 11year old Provenance 46%


Distilled Autumn 1999 at the Ben Nevis Distillery.
Bottled winter 2011 by Douglas Laing.
Un-chill filtered no colouring added a single cask bottling from one refill Hogshead DMG ref 6922
Tasting notes :-
Honeyed - perfumed - and attractively barley sweet on the nose... move onto a big round palate with more (runny) honey - dark sugar tones and Malt.

The finish is then warmingly spiced - still remarkably sweet - with that same round malty quality apparent. (F)

Ben Nevis Single Malt Whisky 11 year old 46% Provenance

Highland region. Ben Nevis Scotch Whisky Distillery.

Founded in 1825 by Long John McDonald

Location Highlands western region

Water source Allt a Mhullin

Distilled in Winter 1996 and bottled Spring 2008 by Douglas Laing & Co.

A bottling from one Sherry finished Butt DMG REF : 4236
Tasting notes :-

Massively spiced and gingery on the nose - softning as it warms to a more caramelised, sweet nature.

With spicy tang on the palate, detect also syrupy, gristy and fruity influences - maybe even some mocha, all running to a barley, spiced, coffee style and lightly mentholated finish. (F).

Ben Nevis the mountain not the person is located at Fort William where most roads in Scotland seem to meet
A medium peated malt that is usually destined for blending, merits more attention. This warranted an additional cask evolution in port pipes for extra berry fruit

To release all the flavours of this natural whisky, add a drop of spring water, A Slight haze may develop which is a sign that this whisky has not been chill filtered
