Like the famous 12 year old expression this Balvenie has been matured in two types of cask, the key difference this has been given an extra five years of cask ageing. A great release for 2012.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed info and/or photos just get in touch!
Warm Acacia honey and green apples on the nose leading to warm winter spices, vanilla and honeysuckle on the palate. The finish is gloriously long with notes of vanilla and honey.
This is a superb example of a classic Speysider with perfect sherry ageing. No surprises there, it's what you expect from Balvenie. What I do find really surprising is some of the reviews below. Someone doesn't like it because its not heavily peated. FFS its a Speyside whisky, not an Islay! I wouldn't review a Laphroaig complaining its too smoky. Someone else complains it's 'watery'. Strewth. Shouldn't these reviews be screened for trolls and idiots? Otherwise it makes the whole review thing a bit meaningless.
May not be everybody’s favourite but this is a superb scotch! Smooth and wonderful flavour. Classic!
A special dram. The WE description pretty much nails it. The extra five years does wonders for this scotch - it is far more approachable than the 12YO doublewood. The layered finish is spectacular. The favorite of my favorites. Priced well under the money at the price at which it’s available.
A great classic dram for most occasions. i personally love the B12 DW in all its entirely, so having this matured for another 5 years takes the floral and oak flavor to a more pronounced level. overall good value for money and a choice bottle to bring to casual and formal occasions.
As I’m sitting here drinking and comparing the B17 with the Mac 18, I am having a difficult time choosing which one I prefer. So I started reading some reviews, and most of them I agree with, however, there are some that disparage the B17 really bad. I cannot help but believe that they are not legitimate reviews, and they’re only trolls just trying to get a rise out of people. There is no way I can believe that someone would think that this scotch is watery. On the contrary, it has a very nice velvety palette. So, back to my review and comparison of the B 17 to the Mac 18, I favor the B 17 because I think it is more balanced. If you want a complete Sherry bomb, then mac 18 is it, but for me, I like balance of flavors, and the B-17 accomplishes that.
