This cracking peated cask Balvenie was released in 2010. It was aged traditionally to begin with, before a finish in casks that previously held peated whisky. The result is well balanced and not overpowering. A success!
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
My wife gave this to me as an early Christmas present this year. Well, this was one fantastic gift. Hints of orange, chocolate and toffee on the nose with just a hint of that peated smoke in the background. One sip and that buttery, creamy feel just covers the mouth. The finish in this one is where the peat really shows. Well done to the folk at Balvenie!
