The Balvenie Founder's Reserve 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750ml) - Old bottling

A now rare Balvenie that was bottled during the 1980's in a 'cognac' style bottle. One only from a private collection.

Other reviews... Colour: gold. Nose: very honeyed, like any classical Balvenie. Nice notes of quince jam and plum jam. Whiffs of white pepper and burnt cake, with even some petrol lamp. Nice! Mouth: rather creamy, mostly on the usual notes of cake, biscuits, vanilla crème and light honey. Quite bold and even powerful. Develops on some nice notes crystallised orange zests and Bailey’s. The finish is surprisingly long, mostly on sugared tea, but alas, getting a little too dry. 80 points - Serge Valentin, whiskyfun.com
