The Balvenie 1974 vintage (Cask #17893), 52.8%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2007 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
The newest offering from the impressive Balvenie vintage cask line. Honey, caramel custard, and Seville orange notes, with evolving -- and increasingly noticeable -- dried spice, oak resin, and leather that integrates well with the sweet, fruity notes. Incredible depth and complexity. The Balvenie vintage reputation remains intact.
