Ben Nevis 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky - 70cl
A bold, characterful, and distinctly individual Highland single malt from one of Scotland's oldest and most historically significant distilleries. Ben Nevis was founded in 1825 by "Long" John McDonald on the banks of the River Nevis at the foot of Britain's highest mountain, making it one of the earliest licensed distilleries in the Highlands, and the distillery continues to draw its water from the Allt a'Mhuilinn stream that flows directly from the Ben Nevis mountain above Fort William. Owned since 1989 by Nikka Whisky — itself owned by Asahi — Ben Nevis is one of the few Scottish distilleries with direct Japanese ownership, and its robust, full-flavoured character has long made it a favourite among Japanese blenders. The 10 Year Old is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered, natural colour — a generous, fruit-forward, and admirably characterful Highland single malt available to buy online in Singapore.
TASTING NOTES
Nose: Full-flavoured, it is characterised by the mellowness of malted barley. It develops notes of ripe fruit (plum) and tangy sweets.
Palate: Powerful and smooth, it confirms the nose. It gradually reveals a herbaceous and spicy (clove) character.
Finish: Wonderfully long on the palate, it emerges dry. It develops salty (iodised) notes.
ABV 46%
