Tasting Notes

Nose

Honey, candied orange, raisin and a distinctive tangy Madeira lift.

Palate

Honeyed Balvenie over a layer of dried apricot, nutmeg and baked apple; the Madeira adds a dry, slightly savoury edge.

Finish

Medium-long, drying, with lingering honey and a faint tang of fortified wine.

Expert Review

8.2/10

A 17-year-old Balvenie finished in Madeira casks, part of David Stewart's long-running exploration of alternative fortified-wine wood.
