Balvenie Single Barrel 15 Year

Sweet and subtle honey with a bright citrusy pop toward the back. Lays on the palette afterward but doesn’t coat like syrup.

Nose: fruity with a hint of oak. A light but refreshing citrus Taste: more and more fruit, some vanilla (once a few drops of water was added), back end with some oak and almost a brown sugar. Smooth and a great sipper to cap off the end of a day. My second favorite Balvenie to only the peat week.

Nose- lemon, caramel, butterscotch, raisins, wood spice Palate- heavy sherry, raisins, dried fruits, cinnamon spice Finish- long finish with notes of sherry and spice Would love to find a first fill cask with a better color to do a true review, but this is the one that I had in front of me. Pretty basic sherried whisky. Nothing really stands out. Nose is good, but has more heat than I like in 46% whisky. Palate is pretty one dimensional with sherry flavors and spice. Just ok.
