Review by The Balvenie

Nose

complex nose, intense with toffee, marzipan, sweet oak, raisins and nuts.

Palate

Developing from butterscotch sweet to clover honey, liquorice and chocolate elegantly balanced with drying oak and spice.

Note

On the 6th September 2002 our last cask from the 1950s, Cask 191, was emptied for bottling and only 83 bottles of precious liquid.

This sherry cask had lain in our warehouse since the 26th January 1952.
