Balvenie 14 Year Old Golden Cask Rum Finish | £69.95 |
Martine Nouet
82- Nose
- Fruity and creamy. Luscious caramel aromas. Candied orange. A touch of praline.
- Palate
- Velvety, coating. Orange custard. Gets very spicy, cinnamon and ginger. Exotic citrus, vetiver. A distant note of coconut.
- Finish
- Spicy, dry. Dark chocolate bitter bite.
- Comment
- A rich whisky which has taken some exotic and sensuous notes from the rum. Stiffens up on the finish.
Dave Broom
82- Nose
- Oak driven. Crushed toasted hazelnuts on top of a banana and chocolate dessert. Needs time to open and show its full rich sweet depth.
- Palate
- Gentle and well layered. Cigar, caramelised peach. Deep and balanced.
- Finish
- A rich concentrated fruitiness that then gives way to a crisp oak.
- Comment
- A classy package with the rum adding its character to an already well-matured spirit. This is what finishing is about.
