Dave Broom
79- Nose
- Sweetness with some bubblegum (Bazooka Joe) strawberry,unsalted butter and orange zest. There's a real spearmint fragrance and a light waxiness.
- Palate
- Quite thick texture with good length and a set clover honey mid-palate. Some sweet spices gather towards the finish. Medium bodied.
- Finish
- Softand silky.
- Comment
- Best neat and further proof of Balvenie's premier league status.

83- Nose
- Perfumy,creamy. Vanilla toffee. Steamed peaches.Hazelnut icecream. Developing on soft grassy notes.
- Palate
- Smooth and neat. In total harmony with the nose. A full basket of ripe fruit, enhanced by delicate spices. And a beautiful expression of sweet maltiness.
- Finish
- Nutty,drier,quite long.
- Comment
- A refined single malt delivering a well written ode to Speyside.
