ROSS: But cruel are the times,
when we are traitors
And do not know ourselves…
But float upon a wild and violent sea
Each way and none.

MACBETH ACT IV, SC. 2 , LN. 18
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

The trappings of elegance are draped around
this substantial frame. There is heft here,
the impression of greatness, but those muscles
are now larded with mutton fat, the belly soft.
A social creature enveloping you in a warm
embrace, but there’s a sidelong glance as the
opportunities are reckoned by this sleekit
player, always picking the right side.

DAVE BROOM

ABOUT ROSS

Ross is one of twelve
noble malts in The Thanes series.

“Ben Nevis has become an iconic malt
amongst enthusiasts - as it balances the
weight and body of malts lost in time,
alongside bursts of fruit. The somewhat
stubborn but wonderful insistence on
the use of brewers yeast in fermentation,
and a generally slower approach to spirits
production is on full show in this 28 year old,
as the fat, fruit driven distillate has
been allowed to shine in re-fill hogsheads.
Like Ross, it shows enough maturity to
always finish on the right side.”
