So much peat and smoke. Also more subtle grassy notes and earthy sweetness. Super light-bodied. A great Islay scotch. β 8 years ago

Honey followed by wisp of smoldering campfire. The perfect balance of everything? β 9 years ago
Sweet, spicy, and bottled at just the right age and proof. Spectacular offering from #Balvenie. β 9 years ago
Smokey camp fire. Smoke on the nose, smoke in your mouth. Smokey smoke everywhere. ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. Definitely an acquired taste, but once acquired, little else comes close... β 10 years ago

Good scotch for the price. β 7 years ago
Bloody good. It had to be as it cost the price of a small duchy.
I have a whole bottle of this greatness with me. Not a good idea.
Taste is sort of dry, not sweet and not bitter...all in equal mix. Taste of lots of stuff. It's been through different cask apparently. Bourbon, Madeira, Port...
Lovely aroma. Doesn't come to hit you right back. β 8 years ago

Had this bottle for a long time already. And thought it to be a basic peaty Islay. But it is a very fine rounded, bit sweet and not too agressive. Better get a new one. β 6 years ago
