Very nice typical Ben Nevis. 87/88.

Nose

Toffee. Meaty as well, the typical 'dirty' Ben Nevis style. Malt, strawberry, apple, peach, vanilla and a bit of banana.

Taste

Toffee, strawberry, cookie, vanilla, cherry, banana and orange. The meaty touch is more in the background now.

Finish

Cappuccino candy, coffee, strawberry, banana and orange.

A successful Ben Nevis without being exceptional, well in the tradition of this distillery.

Nose

Bars of cereals, exotic fruits including bananas frécinettes a little vanilla, nuts wrapped in dark chocolate a bit bitter, candied oranges, herbaceous scents.

Taste

Mouth slightly sweet. Ripe fruit, beautiful orange zest, robust spices, vegetal notes (green tea), very slight bitterness of coffee, hint of sea salt.

Finish

Rather quite long, hot and spicy, with a touch of earthy smoke.
