On the nose, you are greeted by fresh and fruity notes of ripe bananas and orange marmalade, which evolve into spicy oak and roasted nuts. The palate is soft and mouth-filling with an elegant fruity sweetness. Oranges and bananas emerge first, followed by spices and dark chocolate that add depth. The finish is long and smooth, with a full-bodied aftertaste where chocolate and spicy notes harmonize beautifully.

Glencoe Blended Malt is named after the dramatic Scottish Highlands and reflects the rugged beauty of the region in its intense and deep flavor profile. The whisky is non-chill filtered, preserving its natural aromas and rich texture.

Ben Nevis 1999 Little Brown Dog 26 Year Old Single Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 50.5%

This single cask from Ben Nevis was distilled on 24 June 1999 and matured for 26 years in a 2nd fill bourbon hogshead before being bottled on 30 June 2025 by Little Brown Dog. Only 220 bottles exist from this cask, making it a truly rare and extraordinary release.

Little Brown Dog is known for selecting characterful casks, and this is no exception. It carries the classic Ben Nevis depth and personality, with an elegant bourbon cask influence and a distinctive flavour profile.

The label features a Japanese koi carp – a subtle nod to Ben Nevis' historical connection to Japan, where spirit from the distillery was shipped to mature and later sold as Japanese whisky.

On the nose, it offers mature fruits, cereal sweetness, honey and citrus oil. The palate is layered and expressive with notes of pineapple tart, crisp pastry, toffee, vanilla and nutmeg, followed by a long and refined finish with a gentle mineral character. A whisky with soul, elegance and great balance.

Ben Nevis 2012/2021 Cadenhead’s 9 Years Warehouse Tasting Single Malt Highland Whisky 70 cl 56.7%

At the foot of the highest mountain in the UK, where rain filters through peat and granite before reaching the distillery, Ben Nevis produces a malt unlike any other — big, oily, a little wild. Cadenhead took a single hogshead from 2012, let it rest in Spanish Manzanilla from 2020, and bottled it raw as it was. One of those bottles you only encounter if you were standing in the warehouse in Campbeltown with a glass in hand.

Expert description of Ben Nevis 9 Years Old 2012 Cadenhead’s Warehouse Tasting
This is a Warehouse Tasting bottling from Wm Cadenhead, Scotland’s oldest independent bottler, based in Campbeltown right next to Springbank. The Warehouse Tasting series is a small handful of casks drawn each year directly from Cadenhead’s own warehouse and bottled for the tastings held on site. These are releases without colouring, without chill‑filtration, at full cask strength, and they are almost impossible to find elsewhere.

The spirit was distilled at Ben Nevis in Fort William in 2012 and matured for nine years before bottling. Ben Nevis has been owned by Japan’s Nikka since 1989 and is known for a powerful, full‑bodied and slightly oily Highland malt with a deep, waxy character. It’s a style that can easily carry the kind of cask it received here.

The cask is a Manzanilla hogshead — a cask that previously held dry sherry from Sanlúcar de Barrameda — and the malt was transferred into it in 2020. Manzanilla is the driest and most saline‑mineral of the sherries, so where an oloroso cask would add dark fruit and chocolate, Manzanilla pulls the whisky in a nuttier, drier, almost coastal direction. It meets Ben Nevis’ natural weight in a bottling that is big on flavour without becoming sweet.

Tasting notes
Nose: Dry and nutty from the start, with roasted almonds, a touch of salted caramel and the light, yeasty note Ben Nevis often shows. Behind that: apple peel, a hint of wax and a faint maritime mineral edge from the Manzanilla.
Palate: Full and oily in the mouth, exactly what you hope for from Ben Nevis. Dried apricots and walnut, a layer of dark bread and malt, and a peppery spice that grows with the high strength. Dry sherry all the way, no sugar.
Finish: Long and warm with nuts, dry oak and a lingering salted lift. A lightly bitter, mineral note at the very end that brings the sea to mind.

Investment potential
Medium. Warehouse Tasting bottles are filled in very small quantities and sold only to participants at Cadenhead’s tastings in Campbeltown, making them hard to obtain from day one. That gives them genuine rarity, but Ben Nevis from Cadenhead in this age range is not yet a name that moves dramatically at auction, so the potential is solid rather than steep.

Did you know?
Ben Nevis is the last distillery in Scotland that still insists on using brewer’s yeast for fermentation — an old‑fashioned method most others have abandoned. It’s a major reason behind the deep, slightly wild character of the spirit.

Ben Nevis Cadenhead’s 13 Year Old 2012/2025 Original Collection Single Highland Malt Whisky 70 cl 46%

Cadenhead's Ben Nevis 13 Year Old 70CL / 46%

At the foot of Scotland’s highest mountain sits a distillery that has kept a low profile for almost two centuries. Ben Nevis makes whisky the old‑school way — heavy, meaty and completely uninterested in trends. Here it’s captured by Cadenhead’s, Scotland’s oldest independent bottler, and released exactly as it is.

This is a Ben Nevis from Cadenhead’s Original Collection — the series where bottles are filled honestly and without fuss, often in natural colour and without chill‑filtration. The distillery was founded in 1825 by John McDonald, a man so large he earned the nickname “Long John.” The whisky is a Highland single malt matured in a combination of bourbon and oloroso hogsheads. The bourbon casks bring brightness and sweetness, while the oloroso adds the darker, nutty layers.

Ben Nevis is known for a deep, slightly waxy style that carries cask influence beautifully. At 46% and with 13 years behind it, this sits in a sweet spot — mature enough to show complexity, yet still muscular with the distillery’s signature character. A classic whisky‑nerd Ben Nevis, where you taste the yeast, the malt and the wood.

Nose: Biscotti and clootie dumpling, the traditional Scottish steamed pudding full of dried fruit. Apricot marmalade with a hint of ginger.
Palate: Walnut whip and golden syrup, soft and sweet, with spiced cardamom buns adding warmth and bite.
Finish: Hazelnut and cocoa drifting into blackcurrant with a dark, lightly bitter edge.
