Ben Wyvis 37 Year Old 1965

HED22054 70cl 44%
The Ben Wyvis distillery was closed down in 1976, just 11 years after it had opened as part of Whyte & Mackay`s Invergordon complex. This 37-year-old single malt is probably the very last bottling from one of the shortest-lived distilleries in Scotland. On the nose, honeyed notes, herbs and beeswax emerge from the glass, with hints of menthol and rosewater. The palate is rich, dominated by barley sweetness and a dash of oak and more herbs. A true collector`s item.

Ben Wyvis

Operational for only 12 years between 1965 and 1977, Ben Wyvis wins the prize for one of the shortest lived single malt distilleries in Scotland. The distillery was built on the same site as the Invergordon grain distillery and was intended to produce malt whisky for use in Invergordon blends. When the distillery was dismantled in the late 1970s to stills were sent for use at Glengyle distillery.

Bottlings of Ben Wyvis are exceptionally rare and tracking them down is made trickier by the fact that Invergordon used the brand "Ben Wyvis" on bottlings from other sources produced after the distillery had ceased production. The whisky was unpeated and the distillery notably used cast iron wash backs, which was rare for the period.
