Could this be the other part of that cask? Hum hum… Colour: well, the colour's completely different. Full gold. Nose: this one's more medicinal it seems, more on embrocations and mercurochrome at first, then pretty coastal, with oysters and then the expected bananas, grapefruits, a milder chalkiness and some nice fresh maize bread. I believe this one's rather softer, almost smoother (but that word has been banned from the Web, same as 'mellow'). Mouth: laughing out loud, on the contrary, this one's rather fierce on the palate, even a tad hot, with some kind of gritty marmalade and quite a lot of strong green tea. Then the usual salt and lemons, but without much waxiness or oiliness. The thing is, I like this style a lot too. Finish: lovely lemony/sour finish. Haven't I mentioned readymade margarita before? Peach skin in the aftertaste, which is new (in this session). Comments: I'll say it, with rare exceptions, Ben Nevis 1996 is the Bitcoin of whisky. But do what you want, do whatever you want.
