The Balvenie Single Barrel 15
50 ml airline bottle
Tasting notes:
Initial fragrances of pink grapefruit Body Butter and fresh blooms of Vanilla pompona softening in a non-stick pan. On the tongue, a dry sweetness like Tab with cyclamate, or theatre-seat chewing gum. An unhappy finish: bonking on a hors catégorie climb in the Pyrenees despite being chased by a swarthy man rippling underneath a sweat-stained unitard.
Rating:
–On the scale of books in the New Testament—
The Balvenie 15 is the Book of James–doctrinally wobbly and theologically promiscuous, an epistle of straw with a dubious claim to the canon.
