Product description
Product description
Number 17 from the Ben Nevis distillery is part of the Vintage 100 Proof series from the independent bottler Signatory Vintage. In this series, high-proof, uncoloured whiskies with at least 57.1% vol. are bottled, which corresponds to 100 proof. The term proof is an old unit of measurement for the alcohol content of a drink, particularly 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 casks in the belly of the ship could withstand the harsh weather conditions at sea. The single malt is a smoky Highlander that has matured for five years in refill oloroso sherry butts, allowing it to develop its strong smoky notes with spicy hints.

Auch wenn der Rauch einiges versteckt. Leider etwas zu jung. Trotzdem im verhältnis zum Preis mehr als ok.
