Ben Nevis 10 Year Old Single Malt Review
Courtesy Of Ben Nevis The joy of whisky for me is the exploration. I'm rarely caught buying the same bottle on repeat, although there are some exceptions that make it onto what others have coined the 'permashelf', those that offer such good quality and value that once a bottle is drained you just have to get a replacement. More often than not though I'm found spending my cash on taking a punt on something new, be it a new expression within an existing brand or distillery core range, or trying a new distillery altogether. Ben Nevis is a distillery I've been meaning to try for a couple of years now. Founded in 1825 it came under the ownership of the Nikka whisky company in 1989 and as such most of it's spirit has found it's way into Japanese whisky. The distilleries spirit is known to be a robust Highland expression that is waxy, laden with tropical fruit and subtly peaty. The 10 year old was first released in 1996 but never really made it's onto my whisky...
