    WITH WATER

    The nose is more restrained now and some of the fruitiness appears to have gone. There are a few toffee notes now.

    Palate is really good and even sweeter now the water has opened it up a little.

    Finish seems a little longer and still sweet and very smooth.

    I really like Ben Nevis in general and this is an excellent independent bottling.
    • Nose
      The proverbial fruit basket but white fruits, apple, pear and maybe tangerine (sweet orange). Leave it a while and there is honey mixed in.
    • Taste
      Creamy mouthfeel and again very fruity and sweet.

      Honeycomb/cinder toffee, pear, mango.
    • Finish
      Medium length but very smooth with it.
