Tasting Notes
Unleash your senses and let this Ben Nevis 9 Year Old - Battlehill (Duncan Taylor) whisky transport you to the Highlands. Imagine a symphony of aromas enveloping you – mixed nuts, candied citrus peels, and dried berries intertwined with an earthy vanilla note. As you take a sip, plump sultanas and toffee-coated raisins dance on your palate, followed by candied almonds, stewed plums, and a robust, peppery malt character. The finish is a delightful crescendo, with spicy ginger, zesty citrus notes, and a sweet, biscuity barley essence wrapped in fragrant oak. This independently bottled single malt from Ben Nevis, released by Duncan Taylor for its Battlehill collection, has been expertly finished in ex-Cognac casks, imparting a creamy oakiness and vinous fruit character that elevates this wholesome Highlander to new heights.
