The resulting liquid is a symphony of flavors. The nose is a captivating dance of malty sweetness, tangy orange peel, and soft vanilla. As the whisky graces the palate, a rich, velvety texture envelops the senses, delivering a syrupy sweetness, citrus notes, creamy oak vanilla, and a touch of spicy ginger. The finish is a lingering delight, with a malty sweetness, gentle waves of vanilla, and subtle oak spices.
With a bold ABV of 51.4%, the Balvenie Tun 1858 Batch No. 5 is a powerful and flavorful whisky that demands respect. It is a true collector’s item and a must-try for any whisky enthusiast.
