Balvenie Single Barrel Sherry Cask 15 Year

Like buttah. Bold. Rich. Damn good. Enough said.

Cask 4196, Bottle 235 47.8 ABV Right off the bat (in the palate) there's a buttery popcorn note weaved throughout,...which may be the only distinguishing characteristic of this particular sherry forward scotch. If you told your friend this is good scotch; the silky entrance which cascades into the swell of carbonated-like, bitter, astringency; is weird enough to help prove you correct. It is erudite in price and experience, but is too expensive for the later. Don’t test me, but I have a “feeling” that for $50 less, you can achieve 90-95% of the quality. The single barrel nature of a bottle isn’t something I generally pine for, but the trade off for ABV, exclusivity and price all elevate this past the mass market. For whatever my opinion is worth: this is a father-in-law gift (impressive, with little else pushing it past the price tag) and not something I'm looking to replenish once gone. I'm happy its good. 5.0 - go out and buy all of the stock you can find. 4.0 - must buy at least one bottle before you die. 3.0 - solid, must try at a bar, or mooch from a friend. 2.0 - didn't like it, you may. 1.0 - you may have the palate of my dog, and he licks his own ass.

My favorite scotch. If you enjoy sherry scotch, I recommend this above all others I’ve tried so far.

My favorite sherry scotch! Easily better than macallan 18. Highly recommended, must purchase wherever available if sherry scotches are your thing. Definitely worth trying.
