Here's something new I'm gonna try! WOTD: Whisky of the day (no 'e' since this is a Scotch)
Today we have The Balvenie 12 Year Single Barrel Scotch. These are limited edition bottlings, with each bottle being one of no more than 300 drawn from a single cask. Each is also hand-numbered and labelled with the cask reference number. The one pictured is 1699.
Nose: Toasted, sweet nose with all kinds of charred oak and spice. Hints of maple syrup and allspice, a little vanilla and sweet coffee.
Palate: A complex palate with allspice and toffee apples, cooked fruit and baking spices, hints of sponge cake and creamy caramels.
Finish: Long finish with lingering sweetness and spice.
Overall: An intense whisky with lots of influence from the cask. Great value for money too.
Rating: 89/100
Keep posted for more WOTD!
