Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

well now, the classic young Balvenie style is here—cake, quince, mirabelle, vanilla and acacia honey—and the rum stays relatively discreet. Likely not Hampden, probably Cuban as usual?

restaurant Palate

no, this is good, definitely, very easy, very soft but not without backbone, with honeyed touches beyond the assorted plums and ripe apple, plus a few earthy hints—maybe that’s the rum speaking. Also a bit of banana, though ripe banana does appear in Balvenie without the need for added rum

timer Finish

not very long but pleasant, more herbaceous and honeyed at once. Only the aftertaste is a little bitter—what a wee shame
