TASTING NOTES BALVENIE THIRTY

Nose

immediately fresh, despite the long maturation. The predominant aroma is honey, which has always been synonymous with Balvenie. Sweet notes of licorice, orange peel and ripe yellow fruit, including peach and apricot, complete the flavor profile. Lastly, notes of lavender.

Palate

the first sip is sweet and almost perfect in intensity. The main flavor is still honey, supported by a spicy component of black pepper and woody spices. Coffee beans follow. The lavender, already perceived on the nose, is returns and is now joined by cocoa and milk chocolate.

Finish

intense, with a long finish. Wood, honey, black pepper and milk chocolate are present.

Overall, the Balvenie Thirty is capable to present a high level of intensity and complexity. It is the complete package, worthy of attention.
