Ben Nevis Signatory Vintage 100 Proof Batch #17 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 5 Year Old · 2019 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper highlights and a subtle mahogany undertone.

Nose

Intense sherry-driven aroma: raisin and fig fruits lift from dark chocolate and caramel, edged with orange zest and toasted oak. Spices—cinnamon and clove—and a hint of toffee mingle with Ben Nevis’ malt weight and a whisper of coastal brine, all amplified by the 57.1% ABV.

Palate

Full-bodied and warming, this Ben Nevis delivers a dense sweetness of dried fruit—fig, raisin, and plum—paired with rich Oloroso depth. Spices bloom: cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, offset by polished oak and a whisper of dark chocolate. At 57.1% the alcohol sits seamlessly, lending a velvety, viscous mouthfeel, with a subtle coastal maltiness that lingers into a long, resinous finish.

Finish

Long, warming finish of dark dried fruit, cocoa and spice, balanced by layered oak. Oloroso sweetness lingers, slowly fading to toasted malt with a touch of coastal brine and peppery warmth from the high ABV.
