Experience Highland heft draped in Italian dessert-wine decadence with Ben Nevis 13 Year Old – 2011 Vintage, Alistair Walker “Infrequent Flyers” (Cask #805913). Distilled beneath Britain’s highest peak and laid to rest in a single Recioto della Valpolicella–seasoned hogshead, this small-batch malt soaked up waves of dark-berry richness and soft spice from the sweet Venetian red wine. Bottled at natural cask strength in March 2025, non-chill-filtered and natural in colour, only 299 bottles capture Ben Nevis’s muscular, faintly coastal malt wrapped in plush cherry-chocolate opulence.
