Tasting note
- Appearance : vieil or à reflets cuivre rose.
- Nose : son élégance n’a d’égal que sa rigueur. Des notes classiques de vanille et de foin coupé le disputent à d’autres plus exubérantes de goyave, de kiwi et de fruits de la passion. Complexe, il évolue sur le chocolat, la rose fanée et le cuir. Le piment de Cayenne, la muscade, la tubéreuse et le lys accentuent son caractère capiteux.
- Palate : on retrouve ce mélange de finesse et de puissance. Les épices et le bois précieux contribuent à sa magnificence. Le melon, l’abricot et la lavande la rendent pulpeuse. Au fur et à mesure l’influence du madère se fait de plus en plus sensible : praline, caramel brûlé, tabac, amande salée.
- Overall : longue, elle confirme pleinement l’empreinte du madère. Pleine de fraîcheur, elle se montre divinement liquoreuse. Son miel est nuancé de tons allant de l’or vif à l’ambre cuivré. La rétro-olfaction effectue un retour sur la céréale. Nous voilà de retour en Écosse.

The brand
Only a handful of Scottish distilleries can claim to have been owned by the same family since their inception. Balvenie continues to malt part of their own barley, which is grown in a neighbouring field, before drying it in their impressive kiln, where a couple of blocks of peat adds to the authenticity of this single malt. Next, the yeast, the shape of the stills and the watchful eye of the stillman all help contribute to the aromas of this magnificent Speyside whisky. Finally, it is aged in casks built in the neighbouring coopery. Find out more
