Balvenie 12-year-old Single Barrel #11700

Remarks:
pleasant malt, easy drinking. Nice complex nose

Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points

• Nose: 86/100 points
  sweet, herbs and some floral notes, citrus fruits, the alcohol is somewhat present. Later there is a little vanilla and a little nuts, after a while there is some chocolate and also slightly spicy oak followed by light fruits and a little honey. After a long time open in the glass, the alcohol also decreases and it now appears softer
  
  
• Taste: 86/100 points
