The trademark honeyed characteristics of the distillery are very prevalent, combined with a gentle nutty nose and creamy butterscotch flavour with a hint of spice. The finish is long, lingering and sweet, just what you’d expect from one of our vintage casks. Apricots, mango and bubblegum on the nose, overlaid with soft malt. Delicious! The palate delivers exactly what the nose promises. A lovely, medium-bodied whisky, filled with tropical fruits and spices, but with a backbone of firm malt and a little smoke. Spices, bubblegum and slowly drying oak in the lengthy finish. Once again, proof that The Balvenie grows old very gracefully.
