Review #11 of 12 from DC Whiskyfest 2018. I was only able to do 12 because I came down with something that afternoon that really messed with my head and stomach. I should have just stayed in the hotel room but I didn’t pay $350 for VIP tickets to sample my pillow!
No scores for anything sampled as I don’t think it would be fair.
Soft and sweet nose. Strawberry Jolly Ranchers, honey and a light spice.
Spices but mild on the palate, oak and weak port notes if any.
This was probably the biggest disappointment of the night for me next to the Laphroaig epic fail.

I’m definitely going to open my bottle towards the end or shortly after the SDT ends. I think we need to let this one breathe. Balvenie is usually such a quality dram and I think this one will be as well.
