Reviews for Balvenie 21 Year Old PortWood Finish
Does not live up to the hype
Debated trying this for a good while. I have a very varied collection and enjoy various styles of whisky from all price ranges .
Finally gave in based on the reviews from others and I'm extremely disappointed. Given it a few tries and doesn't rate anywhere in my list of go to drams.
I'd be impressed at 1/3 of the price, really overpriced and not worth it. Bland sums it up for me

Best of Balvenie
Absolutely great dram opened a bottle for my 60 Birthday and everyone enjoyed it.
Will order more for Special occasions

Had a dram of this - not my style at all. Very heavy on the port. More heavy on the port than the sherry influence from bottles from sherry casks/butts.
I would stay away from this one...
(was even worse when I started smoking a cigar with the dram)

A fantastic dram
I love all the Balvenie expressions but the 21 yo is in a class of its own. Enough port to matter but not so much to overwhelm the malt. And what a malt it is!

Nice mild scotch, great for any occasion
Very nice everyday Scotch. Not my absolute favorite, but would be a great option to have in a collection, and for sharing with friends.
