Ben Nevis 2019/2025 6 Year Old Peated - 1st Fill Bourbon Barrel & 2nd Fill Sherry Butt - Small Batch (70cl, 48%)

This six-year-old Ben Nevis is a heavily peated Highland single malt, distilled in 2019 and bottled in 2025 at 48%. The Single Malts of Scotland combined just four casks, first-fill bourbon barrels and second-fill sherry butts, into a small batch. It is non-chill-filtered and has no added colour. The profile joins strong smoke with malty sweetness, caramel, vanilla and dried fruit, with mineral spice, gentle sherry sweetness and spicy oak giving it structure. The nose shows pronounced malt, caramel, vanilla and dried fruit, with fine mineral and spicy touches. On the palate come bold smoke, intense malt and fruit, spicy oak and soft sherry sweetness. The medium to long finish stays malty and spicy, with a light bitterness of coffee and dark chocolate.
