The Balvenie Signature 12 year old Batch #1, 43%

Price: 55 ● Issue: Spring 2009 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Single Malt Scotch

Good, straightforward, moderately sherried Balvenie. Classic honeyed notes combine with vanilla, ripe barley, glazed citrus, apricot marmalade, cinnamon, and nutmeg. A nice entry level Balvenie, a solid effort.
