Luscious. Fruity. Complex. Savored this for a few minutes in my mouth.
Probably deserves a perfect rating but since I haven’t tasted many 21yr + scotches I’ll reserve my 5 stars until I have a proper basis for comparison.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Rich, oily, entry, full-bodied, and very sweet with lots of port influence. Nuttiness and floral notes transition to oak. The finish is balanced, if not slightly bittersweet cacao, and gives way to the signature Balvenie sweet-malt flavor. The texture going down is unique, and more akin to that of a thin pudding or custard.
The best of the Balvenie lineup, although the DW12 comes close for much less money.
