Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
much more "old Highlands" than the more recent Balvenies, with a lot of polish, some deliciously rancid walnut oil, engine oil, and even kirsch and service berry. Then acacia honey, quince, and mirabelle plum notes, more typical of contemporary Balvenies, do start to appear after about ten minutes but remain rather discreet. Old walnuts and polish ultimately prevail
restaurant Palate
the whisky has probably evolved over the years, now displaying notes of broth, marrow, salt, and leek, mingled with walnuts and a rancio character that has become completely dry
timer Finish
medium length, saline, quite oxidative, with tobacco and still nuts. Sometimes reminiscent of an old amontillado. A hint of pine smoke at the very end
