Cadenhead's Ben Nevis 13 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a Highland single malt bottled at 46% ABV by Scotland's oldest independent bottler, matured in a combination of Oloroso sherry and bourbon hogsheads for exceptional complexity and depth. Founded in 1842, Cadenhead's has built its reputation on releasing whiskies exactly as nature intended—non-chill filtered and without added coloring. This Ben Nevis expression from their Original Collection showcases the distillery's robust Highland character, enhanced by careful maturation in both Spanish sherry and American bourbon casks that create layers of fruit, spice, and vanilla throughout.
