Ben Wyvis 37 Years Old 1965

An extremely rare bottling from the long since closed Ben Wyvis distillery, this 37 year old single malt was a very limited release of just 200 bottles believed to be from the very last cask maturing anywhere containing whisky distilled on the 17th of June 1965. The Ben Wyvis distillery was closed in 1976, just eleven years after it had opened as part of Whyte & Mackay's Invergordon complex. Only a handful of bottlings have ever been released, of which this is perhaps the most interesting. Having bottled what was believed to be the last casks of Ben Wyvis in 1999 under the name 'The Final Resurrection', Whyte & Mackay were somewhat taken aback to discover that five more casks did in fact exist in their warehouses. This is the bottling that resulted - probably the very last bottling from one of the shortest-lived distilleries in Scotland. A true collector's item.
