Ben Nevis Single Cask White Port Finish Whisky 10 Year Old · 2002 Vintage
In stock
A wonderful single cask bottle of Ben Nevis that seems much older than its 10 years and tastes more like a dark sherry or madeira cask aged malt than white port.
Rare to find a 100% white port cask aged whisky but on this evidence i will try and seek out more, one of my whiskies of the year in 2015 when i tried this and easily one of the most impressive Ben Nevis releases out there (and beautifully packaged in a wood box to boot).
