Nose The nose opens sweetly with treacle and glazed apple pie leading to richer dried fruits and orange peel.
Palate Barley and cereal notes with the faintest suggestion of smoke form the backbone of this aged Balmenach. Then there are raisins and spice gunning it towards the finish.
Finish The finish is long; after mixed spice there is toffee, barley sugar and creamy grist.
Overall This Balmenach has loads of cerealy notes off-set by fruit and a warming sweetness. Furthermore, this malt possesses good balance that ensures all the flavours play together nicely.
