Adelphi Selections Ben Nevis 5yr Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Adelphi Selections Ben Nevis 5yr Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky - 2015

Item # 45652

If you only needed one bottle to be convinced if the near mythical status Adelphi bottlings had held true, this would be the one. It seems improbable that a whisky of this age at this price should be able to knock your socks off but this Ben Nevis is even better than that. Malts from this estate are rarely seen. The owners are Nikka of Japanese Whisky fame and the demand for Nevis is so high in Japan that we still struggle to get our hands on any. Aged exclusively in a first fill oloroso sherry cask and bottled at a natural cask strength from that single cask, this whisky is almost unthinkably concentrated and powerful in flavor with the malt and cask both asserting themselves creating a tension that boils over to great effect. This release is extremely limited.

With the Parliament’s passing of the “Excise Act” in 1824, licensing fees for distilleries were much cheaper. Distilleries started to take out licenses, and since then, the distillation industry in Scotland has been continuously expanding....
