Nose
pretty great, as it brings a great tropical fruitiness to the table. Kiwi, pineapple and guava. A few greener, grassy touches with dried flowers, as well as a warm waxy note. After a while it leans more towards oily hints and paraffin, with the fruits fading away.
Palate
banana, mango and orange, mixed with waxy notes, honey and light spice. Mint and a little white pepper. Then back to chalk, greener herbal notes and traces of leather. All of the nice things of these 1996 Ben Nevis, in a very drinkable mix.
Finish
good length, still fruity, alongside waxy notes and some gentle medicinal herbs.
