Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

quite herbal and slightly rubbery attack, with some paint smells, some burnt bread, getting then flowery with some nice notes of heather, light honey and cooked apricot. Some wet dog too (don't ask me which 'brand') fresh, herbal, very mild. Light honey and cardboard, herbal tea…

restaurant Palate

starts on vanilla cake and honey, together with some herbal notes. A bit too herbal, in fact, with also quite some burnt caramel. It's still a good one I thing, even if it’s a little too much on the (bitter) caramel side. We've had some much worse ones. 80 points . August 3, 2005 TASTING - TWO OLD BALVENIES Balvenie 8 yo (70 proof, OB, 1970’s) punchier, with a little smoke, mashed potatoes and caramel crème. Some notes of burnt cake… Quite nice but too bad it’s little weak. 75 points . Balvenie 10 yo ‘Founder’s Reserve’ (40%, OB, Cognac bottle, 1980’s)
