<p>The Signatory Vintage BEN NEVIS 11 Years Old 2nd Fill Port Pipe Cask Strength #233 2014 is an expressive Highland single malt Scotch whisky that combines the robust style of the Ben Nevis Distillery with the fruity notes of a port cask. Distilled on 8 December 2014 and bottled by Signatory Vintage on 9 April 2026 after 11 years of maturation, this single cask whisky is presented at a robust 59.7% ABV in its natural cask strength. The 0.7-litre bottle, presented in a high-quality tin box, is part of a strictly limited edition of just 655 bottles worldwide and is aimed at connoisseurs of authentic single-cask bottlings. Throughout its entire maturation period, this Ben Nevis single malt was stored in a second-fill port pipe (Cask #233). The port cask lends the robust Highland distillate elegant notes of dark fruits and berries, without masking the distillery’s characteristic style. Mineral nuances, a subtle spiciness, along with cocoa and roasted nuts, complement the multi-layered interplay of aromas. As is customary with Signatory Vintage’s premium bottlings, this whisky is bottled without chill filtration or colouring, thereby fully preserving its natural character. A few drops of water reveal additional facets and bring the balance between fruit, spice and cask maturation even more clearly to the fore.</p><p><strong>Tasting Note</strong></p><p>Colour: Golden amber with coppery highlights.
