The Ben Nevis Single Malt Whisky, bottled by Signatory Vintage, is a whisky with a rich history and a compelling flavor profile. Hailing from the Ben Nevis distillery located in Fort William, Scotland, which was established in 1825, this whisky carries nearly two centuries of tradition and craftsmanship. This particular expression was distilled in 2014 and meticulously aged for over 8 years in 2nd fill Oloroso sherry butts. It was then bottled in July 2022, with a natural approach that includes no chill-filtration or added coloring, maintaining a robust 43.0% ABV.
This whisky offers a delightful balance of flavors, with notes of brambles, black cherries, raspberry jam, and fig syrup. The palate is fruit-forward and relatively sweet, featuring flavors of ripe wild berries, dried fruit, sherry, apples, and candied nectarines. The finish is long, with lingering notes of caramel and wood. Beyond these primary flavors, the whisky also reveals hints of malt sweetness, dunnage warehouse, forest berries, grapes, apricots, sultanas, apples, and nuts. The creamy start on the palate transitions into pepper, canned pineapple, nuts, blackberries, raspberries, cherry, caramel, and oak. The finish becomes dry with a pronounced oak wood character and sherry influence, lasting a short to medium length.
This whisky is suitable for both beginners and experienced whisky drinkers. Its complexity and rich profile make it an excellent choice for those who enjoy sipping and savoring their whisky. Whether you're a seasoned whisky connoisseur or just beginning your whisky journey, this Ben Nevis Single Malt is sure to please, offering great value in 2023 at just under €50.
