Tasting Notes

gold
air Nose
anyone who’s tried some very old official glories knows that Ben Nevis can take sherry extremely well, with its minerality mingling with walnuts to perfection. Fantastic leather and tobacco in this very case, walnuts indeed, mustard sauce (à la diable), concrete and fumes, old garage, engine oil… When was this distilled? Wasn’t that ‘69 instead of ‘96? With water: roasted chestnuts and old walnuts. Perfect. Also this touch of natural unscented soap that’s not unseen in Ben Nevis
restaurant Palate
rather extraordinary. Old pu-erh tea, bitter oranges, caraway, chen-pi (how do you like that, Taiwan?), cigars, miso… This is Ginger and Fred between the spirit and the cask, honestly. Or Mick and Keith. With water: more oranges. Who said as usual?
timer Finish
long, rather on bitter oranges, with the chalk in the aftertaste. Again, not unseen
