odd name change - and worse new bottling art. Loved last year's tube with so much info. Anyway to the whisky. Nose - Balvinie's classic honey with a smoke cloud of wonderful fluffy almost marsh mellowy peat behind it. Has that just touch of oak smoke you get when you roast marshmallows over the fire, only amplified as an intense peated whisky would have. Taste - A bit underwhelming after the nose. Those citrus and honey and vanilla notes over creamy smoked fire. Such a wonderful mix of sweet and peat. Think sugar cubes, candy cigarettes, powdered sugar, and just peat soup. I'll have to do a 2003 14 year peat week after this, I think I have another review in me today, to do this one justice in terms of how good it is. I'm a HUGE fan of these peated casks. They mix the best of peat and the best of balvenie's sweet malty notes. This is both a perfect introduction to peat for those who are new to it and the perfect way to explore peat in a new non islay way for experts. I thought last year's pour was a master piece and while this seems the same to me, I'm feeling this is just a great whisky. Thus a 4.0 and we'll see if I do a review of last years if I'll bump it higher. Either way if you like peat at all, this is awesome and if you don't, this is one to test before moving on from the style all together. Did a quick side by side with last year's peat week and I'm dropping the score a quarter point. It really doesn't hold up next to last years.
