air Nose
surgical spirit at first, then grain whisky (yes) with quite a lot of coconut and marshmallows. You could also believe this is bourbon at times, but I'm sure that's all mostly due to the very high strength. Rather un-Ben Nevis so far. With water: absolutely not the same whisky, as Ben Nevis's greasy, mineral fatness is starting to come out, with some pistachio oil, plasticine, new iPhone box (warning, may contain a new iPhone), sourdough, fresh lemon cake from this morning…
restaurant Palate
oh great. Hard to say why, because of the strength, but there's a lemon-drop quality to this that's very pleasant. With water: once again things get tighter, more mineral, still lemony, more tropical as well. Passion fruits and 'plane' mangos, white tea… All in all it remains a rather civilised Ben Nevis, no mad horse this time. Is that a general trend in Fort Williams? Some peatier batches ala Longrow and on the other hand, some gentler ones ala Hazelburn? And no more 'Springbanks'? (with apologies to all brand owners and entitled partners)
timer Finish
medium, sweet and easy. Gets even more floral, violet bonbons from Toulouse, poppy bonbons, orange squash…
