Long day. Fun, successfull, a bit sad, but all in all, just long. Needed something sweet for this evening, and this fit the bill.
Balvenie 15 starts with a very funky and weird smell. First thought was horse stables, but after a few sniffs it turns into raisins with chocolate. Weird. Really weird. There is also the barley, honey and citrus you would expect from this.
Taste has the usualy barley and honey sweetness, the raisins and chocolate, some fudge for good measure (reminds me of clotted cream fudge somehow) and a dash of pepper thanks to the proof. Very nice sweet treat.
Aftertaste is more sweetness and raisins, but never to an extent that it becomes overwhelming.
All in all, good sweet stuff. Not sure if I would pay 100 bucks for a bottle if I can get the same with Glenfiddich 18 for less, but hey, it is worth a try.
