The Balvenie 40 Year Old (70cl 46%) Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose: Rich, elegant floral notes waft up first, with dried apricots and crystallised citrus peels and ginger. Freshly crushed vanilla pods and a good hint of warm oak.

Palate: Cinnamon, nutmeg, thyme honey which develops floral hints further on. Sherried goodness surrounds it all wonderfully.

Finish: Sweet and warming with honey.
