Ben Nevis Vintage 100 Proof Edition #5 8 Years 2015/2023

The 8-year-old Ben Nevis 100 Proof Edition #5 matured in first and second fill Oloroso sherry butts before the single malt whisky was bottled at 57.1% vol. without the addition of colour and without chill-filtering. In the 100 Proof Edition from Signatory Vintage, exclusive whiskies with an alcohol content of at least 57.1% vol. are bottled. The term proof is an ancient unit of measurement for the alcohol content of a drink, especially whisky, which indicates the minimum alcohol content above which gunpowder soaked in the liquid can be ignited. This method was used in the heyday of seafaring so that the barrels in the belly of the ship could withstand the harsh weather conditions at sea. The series fills a gap in the Signatory range.
