Banana balaclava 35.369 (SMWS) (Glen Moray)
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed
August 21, 2021 (edited August 23, 2021)
Nose: Baked fruit, rose, almond/nutty, orchard fruit (pears & apples)
Palate: Banana, oak, black tea, oily/buttery mouthfeel, instant coffee
Finish: Medium finish. Banana, creamy mouthfeel, dark chocolate, nutty, woody. Slightly burned note.
Complex and layered. Lots of different, well integrated, notes to keep it interesting. I completely get the banana in the name! I've docked some points for tasting a little burned on the aftertaste. This is not a 'charred barrel' flavour, it's more a burned fruit and doesn't quite work with this dram.
