Long and creamy with soft ginger and brandy snaps in the finish.
Reviews
Nose – Apple chews and strawberry laces, a background peat, crushed cold charcoal. Whistle pops and, honestly, instant noodles. It’s as warm and complete as the bunna on the nose; classical.
Body – In some ways Balmenach is as distinctive as Springbank, there’s a big orchard, charcoal and sour wood character. Maybe even a little bong water. The youth is here though, hard and sharp.
Finish – Medium, charred, toffee apples.
This is a gentle but interesting whisky – sweet and sour, light peat and slightly sharp oak.
