Malt Whisky Selection, Nicos Restaurant Inverness
We have carefully put together a selection of over 50 different Malt Whiskies for your enjoyment. Some of these wonderful malts are unique such as Benromach Organic - the only 100% Organic Certified Malt Whisky available, or because they are "Lost Distilleries" in they no longer exist - such as Millburn, Glen Mhor and Glen Albyn. We also have expressions not usually seen such as Aberlour 12yo or Glen Ord 30yo. The range features malts of contrast from the rich fruitiness of Longmorn 1971 to the smoke, peat and iodine of Caol Ila. There is something for all palates, occasions and mood.
