Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
sunflower oil to the max, and citrons to the very max, with an expected layer of paraffin and chalk over that. Then lemon squash and bandages. I can’t see how and why anybody would resist this extremely unusual, yet amazingly profound profile. There, this session starts well. With water: new electronics and expanded polystyrene foam
restaurant Palate
it’s not unusual that a taster would find a little plastic in a Ben Nevis, and that’s the case here. Plastic which then turns into paraffin, which turns into candlewax. Add chalk, clay, lemons, and a little engine grease or something. With water: careful with water, as always with Ben Nevis. So much for a pretty ‘coastal’ distillery. Hey, do electronic pipettes exist? May we try one of those? Other than that, more lemons and more chalk and wax. No complaining
timer Finish
