Description

Stories always start at the beginning (unless they're one of those purposely confusing stories like Memento or those Funnybones books - it's never explained why they're skeletons!), and this is the introductory release from The Balvenie Stories range! These releases all give light to events and people in Balvenie's past and present - this one, for example, takes inspiration from apprentice malt master Kelsey McKechnie and her idea to import virgin oak barrels from Kentucky and deeply toast them at the distillery's cooperage. They were then filled with Balvenie's ex-bourbon oak aged whisky for a finishing period, resulting in... Well, this very whisky you see here!

Nose

Lusciously malty with some sweet fudge, followed by citrusy and oak vanilla aromas with layers of spicy oak notes of ginger and cinnamon.

Palate

Candied orange and lemon peel, vanilla toffee and butterscotch, layers of blossom honey, some melted brown sugar and oak spices at the end.

Finish

Rich and malty with gentle waves of oak vanilla and subtle spices.

Fruity heaven

Fantastically smooth, with loads of Fruity notes and a heavenly aroma aftertaste.

Such a comforting dram.

Recently been introduced, ticks all the boxes for me, a wonderful dram that’s difficult to leave alone. A very well done.

Disappointing dram from Balvenie

I, like reviewers below am a fan of Balvenie. I have 7 other offerings from Balvenie and love them all. This is really alcoholic on the nose and needs 20 minutes in the glass before I can nose it. The flavour profile is smooth and sweet. There is almost no finish and then there’s the alcoholic burn. Being a fan, I may have been expecting too much. Nevertheless, disappointing.
