This special limited vintage 1990 23 years old Ben Nevis Highland single malt scotch whisky is being released to mark 25 years of ownership of Ben Nevis Distillery, by the Nikka Whisky Distilling Company Limited of Japan, who purchased the distillery in the spring of 1989. After investing considerably in new plant - a bolier, mash tun and ancillary equipment, the removal of two blocks of 4 concrete fermenters and installing a new Tun Room, the distillery was brought back into production in September 1990. The first filling from this new production coincided with the with the official re-opening of production on 28th September 1990. Mr. H. Yamashita was present and purchased Cask No. 2 from that filling. He went on to become President of the Nikka Company, retiring from that position in 2012, although he continued to serve the company in an advisory capacity as well as being a director of Ben Nevis Limited until the following year when he gifted this cask to the distillery. This particular cask was was supplied by Kinnaairds Cooperage in Edinburgh as a freshly made dump hogshead, produced from staves of fresh bourbon barrels imported directly from the United States.
The exterior of the cask has been completely sanded to look like new wood with freshly galvanised hoops which after filling was transferred to the Duty Warehouse No. 5 whre it was allowed to mature on larch wood rails for 23 years until being removed for bottling on 9th June 2014. A total of 227 bottles, at cask strength, were filled from this unique cask. Each bottle was hand numbered and bears the signature of the Managing Director. One certainly extraordinary Ben Nevis Single Malt and special whisky for whisky-collectors and connoisseurs.
