Balvenie Single Barrel 15 Year

Instantly on the nose is a full oakiness, sweet vanilla rum, and fresh wet hay. On the palate there's that full oak with a splash of cream soda. The finish brings clove spice then soft green apple. The mouthfeel of this is like a wave in the ocean breaking over deeper water; you expect a huge crash after a buildup, but instead it quietly diminishes. I'm impressed. Needless to say, I would like a bottle of this.
