Obviously, when speaking about Speyside, it is difficult not to mention the Grant family, who is famous for their business genius with Glenfiddich, and a particular competence to produce an excellent whisky like The Balvenie. Even this rather young version, 10 years old, is an essential must in matter of whisky. The Balvenie is obviously one of the best things the Speyside area ever has produced.
2003The second tasting revealed a good whisky, with a taste close to honey, a very long finish and the whole was preceded by a pleasant smell. Without being the best of all, this bottle remains very good.
2004The complex nose mixes acid citrus fruits and sweet honey notes with some spices. In the palate, a kind of bitterness dominates at first, but gradually honey and oranges emerge. A lingering finish, with some acid touches but also some slightly woody hints.
