Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
extremely smooth, yet compact attack, on light honey, flowers and oak. Not overly expressive in fact, but very elegant and refined. Gets quite buttery an creamy (hot cake, vanilla cream), with lots of wild ‘light’ flowers (dandelion, buttercup). Nice freshness! Whiffs of white pepper and white chocolate. Ravishing, even if not too bold. Some nice hints of camphor and turpentine develop after ten minutes or so, and it also gets more nervous
restaurant Palate
beautiful attack, bold and compact again. Lots of fruit jam and honey, with a dash of white pepper and traces of clove. Some very nice rooty notes too (gentian). Hints of rose jelly and Turkish delight. It’s not overly complex but again, so nicely compact and satisfying! The finish is long and coating, perhaps a tad too woody. An excellent all-rounder that will conquer anybody, not just maltheads. 88 points . Balvenie 30 yo ‘Thirty’ (47.3%, OB, 2004)
