Balvenie DoubleWood 17 Year

Oily, vanilla, and distinctly not peaty on the lips/tongue initially, gives way to a full-mouth feel. Intense burn arrives at the back of the tongue as you swallow, which then spreads down the throats and forward on the tongue.

Dramfest `18. This was my 3rd favourite after the Portwood and Carribean. To borrow sentance from Joe_ C "vivacity was simply lacking". My notes still say a 4 so maybe I was in a charitable mood having come off a high of the Carribean 14 or just the fact it was my 60th or so whiskey of the week...either way 4 it shall remain but I wouldn't buy a bottle. I have another sample at home to try out so will be interesting to see if my opinion changes.
