Fresh and vibrant, quite sweet, meadow blossom honey, fruitiness (unripe bananas and apricots), a lot of vanilla, new leather notes, lemon peel, light oak on the background

Sweet, with quite vivid soft oak and typical oak spices (ginger and ground pepper mix), fruitiness (yellow apples, plums), nutmeg, lemon zest, light bitterness

Medium-long, tad sweet, with light oaky bitterness, slightly malty and nutty, apple seeds

Solid whisky, superbly balanced and flawless. Although the oak is rather highlighted here, it’s soft and beautifully integrated. Balvenie’s signature fruitiness is here too along with some complexity. Really nice expression but unfortunately without anything special
