Details
This 15 year old Ben Nevis spent the majority of its life maturing in a Shiraz red wine cask, adding vivid fruit, tannic structure, and a plush, vinous richness to Ben Nevis’ naturally robust profile - before an 8 month finishing period in Mizunara oak, introduced an entirely different layer: incense-like spice, aromatic woods, and an unmistakable Japanese elegance.
The resulting whisky is something quite unique and unusual.
The artwork showcases the Toyota GT2000, a classic Japanese sports car, cruising through cherry blossoms at the foot of Britain's tallest mountain.
