Ben Nevis 49 Years Old 1966 - Spirit Of The Highlands (50cl)
1966 is a year well known to UK football fans and one that is often mentioned but lest we forget it also heralded the arrival of the original Star Trek television series, films such as Thunderball, Dr Zhivago and albums like the Sound of Silence from Simon and Garfunkel, all saw the light of day. Also in March of 1966, 6 hogsheads were filled at the Ben Nevis distillery and left to mature through the decades until 10th April 2015 when they were finally bottled.
How these casks slipped through the net and let the thirsty angels have more than their fair share is unknown. What is clear is that whisky enthusiasts snapped up this once in a lifetime release of 524 bottles from the Whisky Broker thanks partially to an extremely attractive price point. The entire run sold out in a matter of days.
