About Ben Nevis
The Ben Nevis 2005, a distinguished single malt Scotch whisky, marks a remarkable entry into the Private Cask Bottling series by the esteemed Ben Nevis Distillery. Distilled on the 26th of May, 2005, and bottled on the same date in 2023, this expression celebrates 18 years of meticulous aging in a hogshead cask, under the cask number 399. This specific bottling, crafted at a potent strength of 56.5% Vol. in a 700 ml bottle, is dedicated to David Downes Oaklee of Queensbury, Bradford, carrying the moniker "The Water of Life" on its label, a nod to the Gaelic roots of whisky. The choice of a hogshead cask for the aging process imbues this whisky with a distinctive character, offering a rich tapestry of flavors and aromas that resonate with the rugged beauty and storied history of the Ben Nevis distillery. The high alcohol content promises an intense and engaging tasting experience, showcasing the whisky's deep complexity and the refined craftsmanship that has gone into its creation. The Ben Nevis 2005 Private Cask Bottling stands as a testament to the art of whisky making, representing a unique collaboration between the distillery and an individual passion for whisky.
