82
- Nose
- Tightly combined, and balanced, fragrant smoke, oak and hard toffee maltiness.
- Palate
- Chewy. Malty honeycomb in dark chocolate. As though the Belgians had upgraded the Brit ish Crunchie bar. Tropical fruits.
- Finish
- Clinging. Bittersweet. Firm. Intense black chocolate, but avoids astringency.
- Comment
- The best Ben Nevis I have tasted.
65
- Nose
- Woody and earthy (dunnage warehouses) with notes of stewed tea. Water brings out a muscular, toffeed note.
- Palate
- Big, very dry and tannic with some mushroomy, rancio notes but no great complexity.
- Finish
- Dry and tannic with some lively spiciness.
- Comment
- Of interest certainly, but is it a pleasurable experience? Not really.
