air Nose
ah, the unlikeliness of modern Ben Nevis when it’s great… This time we have a rather splendid collection of aromatic herbs (chives, parsley, lovage), then touches of old cardboard/old books, some leather, cooked marrow, hints of curry, tobacco… Indeed this is very unlikely but first it’s different (vive la difference!) and second, it’s most appealing. There’s even a little Spanish ham, imagine… Oh, and Maggi!
restaurant Palate
maybe a tad rough but otherwise it’s a greatly different style again, with a very nice balance between a leathery, grassy side (and chewed tobacco) and meaty side, with some beef jerky and then some peppery spice mix. Capsicum? Green coffee beans? Again, it’s all a tad unlikely but it’s very ‘fun’
timer Finish
long, maybe a tad too bitter now. Heavily infused mint-flavoured tea. Bitter oranges in the aftertaste
