Character Notes
The trappings of elegance are draped around this substantial frame. There is heft here, the impression of greatness, but those muscles are now larded with mutton fat, the belly soft.
A social creature enveloping you in a warm embrace, but there’s a sidelong glance as the opportunities are reckoned by this sleekit player, always picking the right side.

Ross:
"But cruel are the times,
when we are traitors
And do not know ourselves…
But float upon a wild and violent sea
Each way and none".
Macbeth Act IV SC.2 LN.18
William Shakespeare
_____
“Ben Nevis has become an iconic malt amongst enthusiasts - as it balances the weight and body of malts lost in time, alongside bursts of fruit. The somewhat stubborn but wonderful insistence on the use of brewers yeast in fermentation, and a generally slower approach to spirits production is on full show in this 28 year old, as the fat, fruit driven distillate has been allowed to shine in re-fill hogsheads. Like Ross, it shows enough maturity to always finish on the right side.”
Oliver Chilton — Elixir Distillers
Cask Type: Refill Hogsheads
