Description from the seller
Bottle Details
Ben Nevis 1984 Single Sherry Cask 31 Year Old #98-35-2 / LMDW 60th Anniversary
Ben Nevis distillery was built by \"Long\" John MacDonald in 1825, and was so popular by the end of the 19th century that at one point the estate employed over 200 people. After a series of closures and re-openings at the beginning of the 20th, it was eventually bought by former Canadian bootlegger, Joseph Hobbs. He installed a coffey still there in 1955, making Ben Nevis Scotland's first dual-operation distillery, and began to blend its malt and grain before filling it to cask. Sporadic closures again followed Hobb's death, with stability finally ensured in 1989 when it was bought by long-term customers, Nikka Whisky of Japan. Its turbulent history means there were few distillery bottlings until the launch of the 10 year old single malt in 1996.
This single cask bottling was drawn from cask #98/35/2. When Nikka took over Ben Nevis distillery they opted to re-rack many of its 1984 vintage bourbon casks into fresh sherry puncheons. This is one of those, and was selected for bottling by La Maison du Whisky in 2016 to celebrate its 60th anniversary.
One of 600 bottles.
