BEN NEVIS 5 ans 2016 Whisky of Mystery 46%
Single Malt Whisky, Scotland, 70cl, Ref: 60733
Fondée en 1825, Ben Nevis du gaélique « Montagne effrayante » est l’une des rares distilleries bicentenaires. Située sur la partie continentale de la côte ouest-écossaise, à l’ombre de la plus haute montagne de Grande-Bretagne d’où elle tire son nom, la distillerie cultive le mystère. Connue pour son vieillissement en anciens fûts de xérès, la distillerie sait se faire l’ambassadeur d'un profil à la fois fruité (mangue, passion) et plus sauvage et rustique. Ce Ben Nevis 5 ans vieilli en fût de Refill Butt en est la parfaite illustration. Un whisky parfait pour appréhender les single malts d'une grande complexité, et qui illustre au mieux le concept de paradoxe aromatique.

The brand
Acquired by the Japanese group Nikka in 1989, the Ben Nevis distillery was, under the ownership of Joseph W.Hobbs in 1955, one of the only distilleries in Scotland to have its own traditional pot stills and a Coffey-style column still. Bought by Long John Distillers in 1981, the Coffey stills were subsequently dismantled. Although the majority of its whisky is aged in ex-sherry casks, some ex-bourbon cask bottlings have recently appeared on the independent market. It’s worth noting that the distillery was mothballed for six years at the end of the 1970s, and then again in 1984 and from 1986 to 1989.

Merchant
Although the independent bottler Signatory Vintage cannot claim to be one of the oldest in Scotland, it has managed to build up an extremely solid reputation amongst the great malt connoisseurs. The creator of the famous range The Prestonfield and many other well-known ranges, it is best known for its un-chillfiltered and cask strength bottlings that offer amateurs the chance to enjoy their whisky in its most natural form. It was also one of the first independent bottlers to acquire a distillery and now offers a growing number of expressions of one of the most artisan single malts available.
