Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
starts yeastier and farmier than usual, with quite some hot milk and some herbal notes (dill). Gets a little resinous and quite ‘vanilled’… Rather complex in fact, a nice expression of Balvenie without the usual sweetness and roundness
restaurant Palate
rather nervous, with lots of vanilla (should I add ‘of course’?) and liquorice, going on with some cooked green vegetables and quite some caramel. A style on its own! Some interesting notes of white rum (ti-punch) and a rather long finish, just slightly too drying. Anyway, I like this one quite a lot. 86 points .
