Develops more oily and textural impressions with a good waxy character and hints of grassy olive oil and clay. Water brings further enhancement to the citrus notes and a more generous fruit profile overall. Palate: sweet, rounded and full bodied. A classical Ben Nevis distillate profile that recalls some older 1990s vintages with these combinations of waxes, mineral oil, green and subtle exotic fruit notes. There is also some elegant natural sweetness in the form of barley sugars and honey. Water once again reveals an elevated fruit profile and reveals a fatter texture. Finish: good length, some lime, delicate medicinal notes and dried cereals and flowers. Comments: An excellent young Ben Nevis, emblematic of the distillery style and showing a well-developed level of maturity and character. A whisky that could be bottled now, but it could also continue to mature beneficially for years to come. A cask with plenty options...
