| Review #291 |
This is the first release and comes from first
fill Bourbon barrels. Loads of vanilla and marzipan in the smell with some
notes of fresh fruit. Not many different flavors here, but the once that are
present, are very compact - almost thick! Very pleasant. Let it settle in the
glass for some minutes and the sweet flavors really comes forward.
A lot more is going on in the taste. Some fresh
white fruits at first that almost instantly turns into sugary notes. Again it
feels very thick. A lovely feeling in the mouth. In the finish some fine notes
of lemons appear with some gentle oak.
This is not very spectacular, but just a fine
dram from start to finish. I really like the wood management and the cask
selection at Balblair. It really seems like they are very thorough every step
of the way. I will give
this 84/100 (21/21/21/21).
