Ok, you've all heard me blathering on about The Balvenie being my favorite distillery.
The Balvenie 17-year Peated Cask
43% alc/vol
$136.50
Aged Balvenie finished in peated casks and married with fresh American whisky oak...
NOSE
Soft and velvety. Fresh with a light complexity. Some brininess underneath. Floral, leaning towards lavander.
1st IMPRESSION
Fresh, light and dry.
TASTE
Full and creamy without a hint of bite. Waxy. The lavender comes through.
FINISH
Wonderfully smooth. Vanilla dominates the swallow. Creamy. A quick bite at the tip of the tongue, with dry, peaty iodine at the fade.
THOUGHTS
A truly wonderful expression from The Balvenie. Worth trying, but the expense make it a one-time treat.
