Balvenie Portwood 21 Year

Nose: slight smoke, heavy plum/red wine. Slight lemon zest. Taste: Very smooth. Not hot. Plum, lots of oak spice. Depending on your palette, some smoke is present (I didn’t get much first go around, but did when tasting this again, after a bourbon). Finish: very, very long. Starts with oak spice on sides of tongue, finishes with a dry red wine that lingers forever. Hint of smoke.

Sweet and woody with citrus. The finish is long.
