The Balvenie Thirty Single Malt Speyside Scotch Whisky

Gold Outstanding 2013

Tasting Note

" Incredibly complex nose with ripe, dark berry fruit, rich honey, hint of smoke, some sherry notes and floral backing of honeysuckle. Slow slide into the mouth with gentle, smooth flow across the well rounded palate. Mature, mellow flavours of chocolate, ginger, orange, marzipan, toast and rich toffee develop. Great oak support with distinct sherry notes and some dark fruit cake. Massive build up of characters including butterscotch and caramel before flowing into full fruited finish. Said one judge “Like a brilliant cut diamond it radiates with finesse and elegance.” "
