Tasting Notes

Colour

deep gold

air Nose

very Balvenie this time! Only wee touches of varnish at very first nosing, then a very wide range of fresh and candied fruits including the expected apricots and yellow plums, then more honeydew and yellow flowers, and lastly many beautiful fragrances from the sherry casks, such as raisins, figs, prunes and old Sauternes. Oh, and a little mint once again, and maybe a little ham. The whole is really, really beautiful and very complex provided you give it a little time

restaurant Palate

it’s a very jammy Balvenie at first sips, with more or less the same notes as in the nose (plums, honey, sweet sherry), but it showcases more and more mentholated notes that make the whole fresh and lively. There’s also quite some spices from the oak but it’s all under control despite a wee sourness after twenty seconds. Cinnamon

timer Finish

long, beautifully balanced. Apricot jam with coriander and nutmeg
