This Decadent Drams bottling was distilled in 2012, matured for twelve years in a single first-fill American oak ex-bourbon hogshead, and bottled at 53% with only a slight reduction from cask strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBen Nevis sits at the foot of Britain's highest mountain in Fort William, and its spirit is famously weighty, waxy and a little wild. Independent bottlings have built a cult following precisely because they show that funkiness off. A first-fill bourbon cask adds vanilla, caramel and tropical fruit, but this is still unmistakably Ben Nevis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, honeyed cereal, fresh pineapple, orchard fruit and vanilla, with that faint industrial edge the distillery is known for. The palate is rich and waxy: apple, pear, oat biscuit and malt sweetness, before peppery spice and drying oak take over on a long, slightly oily finish. Decadent Drinks call it a fine invigorator for a winter walk in the hills, and they're not wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot one for someone after a light, floral dram. For anyone who loves texture and personality, this is serious whisky for the money.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeat in a Glencairn, then add a few drops of water to calm the spice and bring the fruit forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAged Comté or a good oatcake with butter. Sticky toffee pudding if you want to lean into the caramel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Decant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57358354383172,"sku":"HO40601CNV","price":94.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/2551\/9940\/files\/HO-DecadentDrams-BenNevis12.png?v=1791310657","url":"https:\/\/checkout.houseofdecant.com\/products\/ben-nevis-2012-12-year-old-decadent-drams-70cl","provider":"House of Decant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
