Portrait: What makes the Ben Nevis 2019 100 Proof Edition #17 Signatory Vintage special

High percentages & low price
These characteristics do not often come together in a single whisky: The Ben Nevis 2019 100 Proof Edition #17 is an independently bottled quality whiskey that is established in age and combines high volume percentages with a low price.
 
As part of the Signatory 100 Proof series it comes with 57.1%vol. to whisky fans, the minimum level at which gunpowder soaked in alcohol can be ignited. The saving tip from the Highlands, heavily peated with a pleasant intensity, develops strong peaty notes that promise unadulterated enjoyment thanks to the absence of dyes and chill filtration.
The Ben Nevis 2019/2024 is not only high in percentages, but also in phenol. The 100 Proof Edition #17 is a “heavily peated” Highlander that combines its smoky-spicy characteristics with the aromas of nutty-sweet during a five-year full maturation in Refill Oloroso Sherry Butts was allowed to combine liqueur wine.
