With the bad news of the Indy bottling availability of Ben Nevis, I wonder if we'll stop seeing so many super young bottlings of it, and the IBs start stretching out what they have and aging it a bit longer.
I had a Single Malts Of Scotland Ben Nevis 10yr that had been matured in Sherry hogsheads. Excellent, excellent bottle… it didn’t last long :( Japanese whiskey: Nikka straight-from-the-Ben-Nevis-barrel ;)

Thanks!
I really like Ben Nevis, but I've found it needs a good hit of sherry at younger ages, bourbon barrels are great when a bit older.
