Featured in The 1001 Whiskies you must try before you die book
"A whisky with the symbiotic character of a fruit and nut cake with the flavours and textures complementary and perfectly balanced. Crisp, unobtrusive oak gives the clean, crisp malt its definate shape and character. The finish is of medium length."
94.5 points in Jim Murray's whisky bible
"What a magnificently improved malt. Last time out i struggled to detect the fruit. Here there's no escaping."

Palate
On the palate, fruit-and-nut cake notes rise with plum, fig and almond, layered over a clean, crisp Balvenie malt. Port wood adds wine-dark sweetness and depth, while unobtrusive oak provides structure and balance. Spices linger softly as the medium-length finish coats the palate with warmth and refinement.
