Ben Nevis Ingelred Single Cask #4 Whisky 11 Year Old · 2012 Vintage
In stock
Aged for 11 years, this single malt has spent its entire maturation period in a Sicilian Marsala wine cask, which is a significant contributor to its character. Marsala, a fortified wine made in the region of Sicily, is known for its rich, nutty, and slightly sweet profile, which imparts a distinct complexity to the whisky.
The result is a whisky that is visually striking, with a deep dark amber hue that hints at the influence of the wine cask. On the palate, the whisky exhibits a full, rounded texture, with the Marsala cask contributing a smoothness and a richness that enhances its flavor profile.
