Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
much more restrained than all the others. Slightly spirity and oaky. Hints of hot milk, flowers (dandelion), tannins, pepper. Much more austere…Develops on apple skin (cider apples) and hops. Perhaps a little more complex, yet cleaner than the wine-treated Balvenies
restaurant Palate
powerful attack, on lavender, oak and vanilla. Fudge, butter creme… Some fruity notes developing after a while (pear, apple). Not too complex again, but I like this ‘straight shooter’ style, which is quite unusual at Balvenie’s. Rather long, but slightly spirity finish. 83 points . MUSIC - Recommended listening -because it's well made and I'm not sure Sir Yehudi Menuhin would have disapproved it: Mexican electronic artist Victor Haus ' Prabhati haus session which uses lots of samples of the great violinist and humanist. But where have all the humanists gone? DO IT YOURSELF - If crafting your own chairs with some genuine oak barrels has always been one of your secret dreams (?) why not buy some used butts (£95), puncheons (£95) or hogsheads (£65)? Just look here . Furthermore, as they say: ' it would be impossible to describe in detail all the things that you can create with barrels. Suffice it to say that they are versatile, easy to use. Here's a list of what some people have used them for: rainwater buts, ice buckets, water features, fountains and ponds, flower planters and shrub tubs, seats and armchairs, tables, and furniture, kennels, childrens dens and play areas, litter bins, ornamental signs, tool holders, brewing and wine-making'.
