Balvenie 25yo 1974/2000 Single Barrel (46.9%, OB). This bottling was distilled on 12/11/1974, matured in cask #15208 and bottled in 28/11/2000. With the exception of the 17yo 'Islay Cask', all the Balvenies I've tried so far have scored in the eighties. That means this 25yo has a big reputation to live up to.
Nose: Ah, a wonderful perspective - very subtle. Sweet with late fruits and chocolate.
Great composition; balanced without supressing any of the individual elements. A beauty
Taste: Very soft and accessible. Extremely fruity - maybe a tad too much so. Long finish.
Score: 84 points . This is the oldest Balvenie I've tried so far and I wasn't disappointed. Nevertheless, I have to admit I personally prefer the 21yo Port Wood Finish on account of it having slightly more personality.
