Ben Nevis 9 Years 2012-2022 is a characterful and energetic Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled as a Single Cask by Valinch & Mallet in the “Young Master Edition” series. You get raw Highland character, the elegant sweetness of the bourbon cask and an impressive 52.4% strength – all in natural color and without chill filtration.

Only 360 bottles are bottled from cask 1524, making this bottling a great option for collectors and enthusiasts who want an honest and unadulterated interpretation of Ben Nevis’ distinctive style.

9 years in bourbon barrels – pure energy

Distilled in 2012 and bottled in 2022 after 9 years in a bourbon cask. This cask type brings out the natural character of the distillate with notes of vanilla, honey and light spice, while allowing the classic Ben Nevis profile – rich, slightly oily and fruity – to shine through.

As a true single cask, the expression is unique: one cask, one batch and one interpretation of the distillery’s raw Highland DNA.

Tasting notes

Aroma: Fresh and vibrant with green apple, pear and citrus. Underlying notes of malt, vanilla and a slight mineral note.

Flavor: Rich and structured with sweet malt, caramel and tropical fruit. A touch of spice and white pepper add depth, while the bourbon barrel adds soft vanilla and honey.

Finish: Medium to long with warm spices, light oak and a dry, elegant finish.
