    "Sweet toast of american oak" - a new bottling from BALVENIE, as usual in a reserved 43% vol.
    A very well made whisky that doesn't hurt anyone and that you can't really fault. It works flawlessly and emotionless but I miss a recognition value.
    For connoisseurs who rarely drink a whisky, an absolute hit.
    • Nose
      81 81
      On the nose rather reserved, a little sweet, a little acid, some fresh wood. Everything is very well balanced but rather inconspicuous. Yes, doing nothing wrong could have been the motto here ...
    • Taste
      85 85
      A bit full of mouthfeel, slight oiliness, nice sweetness, nice fruit, nice spice. I find it perfectly balanced, but I can't really grasp it. It seems like it is a perfect "beginner's whisky" or just an "easy dram". Great job, but without emotion.
    • Finish
      84 84
      Rather short to medium length and without edges and corners. Nothing bothers, nothing stands out. But here, too, an almost silky smooth finish.
