Balvenie Single Barrel 15 Year
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed November 5, 2015 (edited December 18, 2015)(Cask 1471) Very light yellow. Mild nose with light smokiness, honey and a little peat. Nice, quite rich mouthfeel, rounded, well balanced. Richer and deeper than it may appear at first sip. A few drops of water opens it up and make the individual elements more accesible. A smooth, not very loud whisky but elegant and with quite a bit of complexity. (In cask 07.02.1992, bottled 15.02.2007) -
Intense and very fruity nose with lots of tangerine, then smoke and pecan and brazil nuts. Pouring it in a large tulip shaped (red wine) helped very much in catching the full richness of the nose. Taste: Medium rich, nicely balanced. In the mouth initially less fruity than on the nose, but a week after opening the fruit unfolds here too, with apples and oranges. Vanilla, hints of maple suryp (but not sweet) and towards the end come spice, smoke and some iodine. Very nice whisky for the price.
