Ben Nevis 12 years 2012 - 2024 #117 The Duchess

The Duchess is an independent bottler marketing exclusive whiskies and rums. With an eye for quality and unique flavour profiles, The Duchess offers special expressions. This single cask whisky from the Highlands, named after the UK's highest peak, is a great example of this. It is a true fruit bomb and a must for the Ben Nevis enthusiast.

Tasting note

Nose

Intense layers of vanilla, caramel, and ripe tropical fruits - mango, peach, and pear - balanced by fresh grapefruit and pomegranate.

Taste

A rich symphony of sun-ripened mango, stone fruits, and citrus, with a mineral undertone. Vibrant, complex, and perfectly balanced.

Finish

Long and evolving, with lingering citrus and an exquisite harmony of flavors.
