Tasting Notes by cato

Fantastic expression I hope every whisky anorak gets to try. This is by far the best Balvenie I have tasted in 25 years of drinking single malt. Dark gold in color N: wonderful dark fruits (plumbs, red grapes, ripe blue berries), old leather and wood (I love this scent), beeswax P: Smooth velvety mouth feel, dreamy sherry, figs, vanilla, light smoky floral notes F: Long old oak, warm sherry, light spice, toffee, nuts, dark chocolate, walnuts...WOW!
