Marrying casks which have passed 50 years in age, with varying tastes and liquid strengths, requires the application of all the skill and expertise David has amassed during his 59 years’ experience as The Balvenie Malt Master.On the nose there are deep dark spices, rich fruit cake, lots of elegant oak notes, followed by sweeter aromas of dried fruits, raisins and sultanas ending on a ginger spiciness. The palate opens up rich and lush with some bitter chocolate. Intensely spicy, there is a maple syrup sweetness, hints of honey and well integrated oak tannins. The finish is rich and mouth coating with those sweet and oaky spiced notes.Berry Bros. & Rudd
