This single cask bottling of a 26-year-old Ben Nevis single malt as an original bottling of the distillery was stored in Duty-Free Warehouse No. 5 and was specially produced for Alambic Classique Bad Wörishofen. The whisky was distilled in 1996, matured for 10 years in an ex-sherry butt, was transferred to a refill hogshead in 2007 and was bottled at cask strength in 2023 with 264 bottles.
The distillery is located in Fort Williams, directly at the foot of Scotlands highest mountain, Ben Nevis. Founded in 1825 by the famous John Macdonald, it had a chequered history until its closure in 1986. Since 1989, the distillery has belonged to Nikka and is producing again.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
