Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

Balvenie au naturel, rather light, a wee tad sugary (sugarcane syrup), with some banana and some mirabelles again, plus acacia honey (again) and a few fresh almonds. A very fresh, pleasantly lightish nose that I would even call ‘summery’. Develops on lightly cooked tarte tatin and custard, I’d say

restaurant Palate

it’s well a very natural Balvenie, with little oak influence, and plenty of plums and custard, plus the faintest touch of rubber (nothing awkward). The age doesn’t feel at all, this could be twelve, fifteen, or twenty. No, not thirty

timer Finish

medium to short and rather light, with a little cider, mead, and simply sweet malt. A little cinnamon cake in the aftertaste
