Signatory Vintage® Signatory Vintage Ben Nevis 2014 8 Year Old 46% ABV 700ml – 7824951836902

Distilled in 2014 and matured 8 years in a pair of Bourbon Barrels before bottling at 46% without added colouring of chill filtering.

Nose: Jujubes, gristy malt, and toasted oak; Boursin and a bit of chevre; nutty,  lemongrass, and herbs. 

Palate: still malty and grassy with soft toasted oak and cracked walnuts; chevre with lemon slices; white pepper, melons, and herbal tea.

Finish: medium long, warming and fresh; more herbal notes, malt, white pepper, and subtle fruits.

Comment: this is a rather naked, malty Ben Nevis, brimming with some of the cheesy-fruity spirit character the distillery is famous for.
