Ben Nevis 15 Year Old 1996/2012 - C & S Dram Good 54.9% vol. 0,7l

Without exception, the bottlings of the small independent bottler C & S Dram from Germany have only limited editions.
It is usually bottled single barrels, only occasionally find up to five barrels the way to a bottling - that means, the requirements are always small and therefore only temporary available.

C & S Dram works closely with barrel selection on none other than Brian Morrison, former owner of Morrison Bowmore!
The bottlings are all without the addition of dye and without cold filtration.

Ben Nevis
Ben Nevis Distillery is located at the foot of the highest mountain in Scotland, in the western Highlands of Fort William.

The distillery was founded in 1825 by Long John Macdonald (Long John Distillers).
In 1955, Joseph W. Hobbs took over the distillery, an American who had lived in Scotland since the 1930s and had already bought the distilleries Glenesk, Bruichladdich and Lochside.
With moderate success, he produced at Ben Nevis Grain and Malt Whiskeys.
In 1981, Ben Nevis came back to Long John Distillers, who discontinued operations in 1986.
Since 1989 the distillery is owned by the Japanese company Nikka, which has been producing here again since 1991.
