Nose Round and complex with a gentle development of floral honey. Nutty and oily with allspice aplenty.
Palate Warming and rich. A sweet honey develops, vanilla, a hint of cigar leaf with nutty Sherry and a faint hint of smoke or malty peat.
Finish The finish is long and honeyed, subtly fading away with floral and fruity hints.
Overall A rich, complex and quite beautiful Balvenie.
