The Balvenie 40 Bottling Note~ 40 year old single malt Scotch whisky from the Balvenie distillery in Speyside. A stunning balance is met between traditional whisky cask and Sherry cask malts making this superbly aged expression one to behold. Just try to say the words "40 year old Balvenie" without going "Mmmmm..." TASTING NOTES~ (nose) Rich oak notes overlaid with baked apple, stewed fruits and soft leather. The addition of a little water releases sweet fruit notes and hints of vanilla. (taste) Silky texture delivers a beautifully mouth-coating sweetness and a spicy sensation of cloves, cinnamon and ginger. The flavour develops into a gentle oakiness with hints of dark chocolate, roasted almonds and sherried fruitiness. (finish) Rich, warming and slightly dry. |
