Rated Among the Top 10 Alcohol Retailers on Trustpilot
This Ben Nevis 10-Year-Old 2012 release, curated by Milroy's, is a distinctive single malt whisky aged in a first-fill French oak Oloroso sherry hogshead, after being transferred from a refill hogshead for an enhanced maturation process. Distilled in 2012 and bottled in 2020, it boasts a robust 57.1% ABV. From cask number 1728, this particular batch yielded a limited run of only 278 bottles.
Tasting Note by Milroy's:
Nose: Dried figs and crystalised ginger are balanced by Scottish tablet and classic European Oak spice and dunnage warehouse funk.
Palate: Full bodied, with wildflower honey and toffee-apples giving sweetness while more complex savoury notes of Porcini mushrooms and Parma ham give a nod to more farmyard-style Ben Nevis’ from previous decades.
Finish: Brandy snaps and a hint of hessian bags/rancio give depth and maturity.
