Tasting Notes
"This is Balvenie after 14 years of hitting the gym. But it shows its gentle side the longer it sits. Muscular smoky peat is knitted with earthy oak. The gentle sweetness of spiced honey signs The Balvenie autograph. Vanilla and orchard fruits balance on the palate with a floral note. It’s zesty, creamy and peppery with the smoke drifting into a finish that’s loaded with sweet dried fruits, spice and a splash of citrus."
