 |
|
Just recieved word from Balvenie that there limited edition 17 year old Sherryoak is now available. They described it as:
| Quote: | | An exciting new addition to the range of The Balvenie Single Malt Scotch Whiskies, this limited edition is a real treat for all Balvenie enthusiasts and takes Oloroso sherry intensity and richness to new heights. |
Tasting Notes from Balvenies site:
| Quote: | Colour ~ Rich amber and walnut.
Nose ~ Rich and intense with complex layers of sherried oak, spiced apples, caramelised pears and toasted almonds. Intriguing hints of beeswax, fresh ground spices and a subtle earthiness.
Taste ~ First impressions are of mixed spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves), combined with sweet, fruity, sherried flavours. On addition of a little water a delicate vanilla character reveals itself with a beautiful stewed fruit sweetness and a touch of oak tannin.
Finish ~ Rewardingly long and rich with a hint of dryness at the very end.

Living only 800 yaqrds from the distillery I must make an efford and see Richard Cotton for a wee sample. The tasting notes look great.
I loved the roasted Barley they produced the other day, a lovely sweet dram, good for after a large evening meal !

Mac, on the www.balvenie.com you find info regardering the Balvenie Roasted Malt aged 14 Years - It's the first single malt Scotch whisky to be made using a batch of dark roasted malted barley and it tastes 'yummy'.

I have been trying to buy a bottle of the Balvenie 17 year old Sherryoak but i cant seem to find it at any of the online whisky shops i would normally shop at. Does anyone know a shop who has it in stock?
Thanks

The only place i have seen it for sale so far is direct from the Balvenie website shop. Priced at £60 I dont know if the likes of The Whisky Exchange will be getting some stock of it before Christmas.

| Still a few left at the whiskyexchange I think that's the last place with any left for sale. I must admit this Balvenie is one of my favorites now. I have a keeper bottle which I am tempted to just open and get another from The Whisky Exchange. If anyone hasn't already tasted this bottling then it's a must!! Some great reviews out there also and has one some awards which is also well deserved. |
