Ben Nevis Signatory Vintage The Decanter Collection Oloroso Sherry Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 8 Year Old · 2014 Vintage
Out of stock
A Ben Nevis single malt bottled by Signatory Vintage, this 8 year old was distilled in 2014 and bottled in 2023 after maturation in Oloroso sherry casks. Bottled at 46% ABV, it highlights the distillery’s robust Highland character through sherry cask influence.
Oloroso sherry maturation adds rich dried fruit sweetness, warming spice and layered oak depth to Ben Nevis’ naturally weighty, malty and subtly coastal profile, creating a well-balanced sherry-led expression.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep burnished amber with coppery glow and mahogany edge.
Nose
Opulent sherry aroma of rich dried fruits: fig, raisin, date, woven with cocoa and toasted almond. Warm spice rises (cinnamon, clove) alongside layered oak and a touch of malty sweetness. A faint coastal undertone lends a subtle sea-salt finish to a bold, well-balanced nose.
Palate
Dense, malty backbone carries rich dried fruit—figs and raisins—wrapped in Oloroso sweetness. Warming spice (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg) unfolds with toasted oak and a touch of coastal salt. Velvety texture, generous body, and a long, well-balanced finish, the sherry-laden richness lingering with the Highland character.
Finish
Long, warming finish dominated by sherry sweetness - figs and raisins - brightened by spice. Toasted oak and a touch of coastal malt linger, fading slowly into a refined, velvety warmth.
