92- Nose
- Fudge. Honey. A hint of heather. Very soft.
- Palate
- Intensely sweet and Sauternes-like. Or perhaps orange muscat? With water, yet sweeter and fruitier.
- Finish
- Becoming more like dark, clear, liquid, honey.
- Comment
- Extraordinarily distinctive. All the characteristics I expect in Balvenie, but I have never experienced them in such a concentrated intensity.

90- Nose
- An elegant, soft, luscious, nose that reminds you of pancakes dripping with butter and honey.
- Palate
- Soft and mouthfilling with little spikes of wood notes and citrus. Dries as it develops.
- Finish
- Ripe soft and long, drying into wood then burnt orange.
- Comment
- Complex, luscious, gorgeous.
