Description

Ben Nevis 13 Year Old 2012 The Octave Duncan Taylor 70cl 57.2% is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky independently bottled by Duncan Taylor as part of their renowned Octave series. This series is known for finishing whiskies in small octave casks, which enhance interaction between spirit and wood, resulting in intensified flavour and complexity.

Distilled in 2012 at Ben Nevis Distillery and matured for 13 years, this whisky has undergone an additional maturation in octave casks. These smaller casks accelerate the maturation process, contributing richer oak influence, deeper sweetness, and more concentrated flavours.

Ben Nevis is known for its robust and slightly oily character, often showing notes of orchard fruits, malt richness, and subtle mineral tones. The octave finishing adds layers of spice, vanilla, and oak complexity to the spirit.

Bottled at cask strength 57.2% ABV and presented in a 70cl bottle, this release offers a bold and expressive whisky experience that can be enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to unlock additional aromas.
