Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
it’s reminiscent of Sauternes or Monbazillac finishes—sweet, fruity, and syrupy, with honey, ripe peaches, and apricots leading the charge. There’s also some very ripe mirabelle plum (the kind that turns almost red), though whether that comes from the pineau or from Balvenie itself, I couldn’t say. A touch of ale reminds us it’s still whisky
restaurant Palate
the same impression, though it’s a bit tighter than expected. Pink grapefruit, tangerines, honey, prickly pears, a dash of lychee in syrup, and a very, very slight hint of grape stem. That mirabelle, however, is nowhere to be found on the palate
timer Finish
medium length, with a nice fruity balance—Starkrimson apples, Belle de Boskoop, and a bit of grapefruit skin on the aftertaste
