Balvenie Triple Cask 16 Year

vanila 🥰

Chocolate nose, mild malt. On the palate, milk chocolate. Slight herbal note. Velvety, typical Balvenie. This is Scotch I can drink. 7/19/19

Fantastically smooth. Tons of vanilla and bourbon.

Nose : After a powerful malt start, vanilla takes control of the show, clearly due to the first fill bourbon casks. It is followed by fruity sweetness, candied citrus, peach. Taste : Great balance of oak, vanilla and fruits. Taste is soft, vanilla more in presence, and giving the alcool taste instead of malt. Finish : It is smooth, with much less malt than the nose. Dominated by oak in the start, it slowly drifts towards candied lemon peel.
