Round two of the not-yet-reviewed bottles from my collection, following round one (Balvenie 12 Single Barrel). Deep, clear amber color. Nose is reminiscent of pear nectar, like a concentrate of Oban 14, along with a subtle smoky peat; orange marmalade on toast; and an autumnal tart apple cider. The palate is amplified and mouthcoating, with a smokier, but by no means overdone, presence. Some sweet golden raisins and honey also make an appearance. The sweet smokiness continues on the lengthy finish. Delicious. 4.25 on the Distiller scale. This bottle distilled 2004; bottled 2019. 43% ABV. N.B.: All spirits tasted neat in a Glencairn glass.
