The Balvenie 12 years old Signature Tasting note
in Tasting , Recommended , The Balvenie“Excellent nose with a great taste. Just a 6% more of alcohol, or ejem bottled at cask strength and this would have been "my" whisky for the rest of my life.”
91
This 12 year old Balvenie was released in 2008 and was launched to replace the 10 year old Founders Reserve. This bottling was aged in first fill bourbon barrels, refill casks and sherry butts.
Balvenie Signature is a small batch version of Doublewood with have additional been matured in bourbon casks. Rather good whisky by it is missing a bit more alcohol...
This dram has a gold-like color.
Nose (93): strong. biscuits, honey, vanilla, citrus, floral.
Palate (90): smooth. fruity, candies, honey, vanilla, floral, citrus. Bottled at cask strength this would have been a crack.
Finish (89): long. floral, citrus, honey.
So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Balvenie 12 year Signature with 91 points over 100.Buy this bottle at
