Tasted this at Whiskylive NJ, alongside @Richard-ModernDrinking. Pretty good nose, but falls apart in palette. Not sure I’d buy a bottle...instead I’d go for the Edition 2 or 3

@SolanaRoots honestly...it was good, but not $115 good. I paid about $60-80 I think. @worldwhiskies95 yup—-the sherry one is made, it’s the regular bourbon cask that’s discontinued
@PBMichiganWolverine Balvenie 15 Single Barrel Sherry Cask is still made. https://us.thebalvenie.com/our-whisky-range/single-barrel
@PBMichiganWolverine Yep, that’s the one. I tend to like Balvenie quite a bit so contemplating whether to grab an old dusty bottle of the 15yr single barrel I found at a neighborhood mart for $110
@SolanaRoots you mean the Balvenie single barrel 15? That’s discontinued now. Was actually pretty good, for a Balvenie
@PBMichiganWolverine if I recall, you guys had the old single barrel 15yr. Been trying to locate one of those but they seem rare these days. The 15yr sherry cask is plentiful
You might have but remember that Ryan did the first few rounds. Not me.
@Telex didn’t we already try the Balvenie sherry 15 yr old as part of the SDt?
I *almost* pulled the trigger on this today in fact, but this Balvenie 15 Sherry caught my eye. :)
@Generously_Paul - eh, Christmas is coming up and I figure you or @PBMichiganWolverine will hook me up with a bottle or two. ** (starts humming “That’s What Friends Are For”...)
@Generously_Paul @LeeEvolved you should still buy it...it’ll climb up to $1500 in an year
@LeeEvolved you missed your chance. Should have bought when they were only $250. Edition 1...1 Lee...0
@LeeEvolved freakin insanity.
Edition No. 1’s just sold for $900 on Scotch Whisky Auctions. 10x retail from 3 years ago
@Scott_E just hold on to it. Because you know some Edrington rep is going to claim there’s very few of these made, and voila...price for a subpar whisky goes up 5 fold.
@PBMichiganWolverine; @LeeEvolved I purchased this too. This one seems to be hit or miss. I seen/read several reviews that love it and others that were disappointed. C'est la vie.
@LeeEvolved this was the only one last night that I tried 3 times. I was hoping to like it. Just didn’t work for me. I’ve heard 1 was the worst, and either 2 or 3 the best.
Dammit, I just bought 2 bottles of this. Still looking for that elusive Edition No. 1, too
