Ben Nevis Signatory Vintage Ibisco Decanter Highland Single Malt Whisky 9 Year Old · 2014 Vintage

Colour

A rich, sunlit amber with coppery gloss and mahogany shadows.

Nose

Dark-fruited and opulent, the bouquet opens with raisin and fig jam, touched by orange zest and roasted hazelnuts. Sherry-soaked sweetness coats cocoa, almond and burnt sugar, while a spicy thread of clove and cinnamon lifts the air. Subtle malt, warm oak and honeyed notes provide depth, with a whisper of espresso that hints at a robust, dignified finish.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied on the palate, it unfolds with dark fruit and rich sherry sweetness—prune and fig glaze balanced by cocoa, almond and a hint of orange zest. Spiced warmth (cinnamon, clove) weaves with polished oak, leading to a long, velvety finish with toasted nut and a subtle chocolatey glow.

Finish

Silky and long, the finish unfurls sherry-soaked fruit—prune, fig, and raisin—composed with dark chocolate, espresso, and a gentle spice. Subtle orange zest and toasted oak linger, leaving a luxurious, warming glow.
