Michael Jackson
85- Nose
- Orange-honey perfume. Musky, faint hint of peat.
- Palate
- Honeyed sweetness drying to lightly spicy notes. Very lively. Just a hint of sherry.
- Finish
- A tingly, almost aggressive, surge of flavours, with lingering, syrupy honey.
- Comment
- The most honeyish of Speyside malts?
Jim Murray
90- Nose
- Dazzling complexity; light yet softly smoked, with both youthful grassy notes and heavier, richer ones. A treat.
- Palate
- Rich, faintly honeyed malt tones, underpinned by smokiness. The fruitiness is faint but essential to the complexity.
- Finish
- Dry malt and gentle peat take equal and alternate stage. Some lovely cocoa notes on the finish.
- Comment
- Balvenie has long been a favourite, and this expression is sublime. A riposte to any who claim that all Speysiders are much of a muchness.
