Balvenie is a well renowned whisky brand, not quite as famous as Macallan perhaps, but in roughly the same league. That high perch come at a price, and that is that the prestige the brand has gained has often made it the target to be overtly criticized. This often pushes experts to overly criticize the brand - 'it's not as good as it should be' etc. I find this very misplaced in this particular case. It often retails close to £40, and that to me, isn't too ridiculous. You get a lot of whisky for your buck. Great aroma and bags of taste. Pleasant, smooth and vanilla sweet, a great all rounder, and a perfect gift for a beginner / a whisky curious person. I've had several bottles of this and will have more. If you find this in any bar, you should be glad!

On a taste journey, when my family first moved to Scotland, I decided to become acquainted with different whiskies (because the deep-fried mars bars didn't do it for me). Over the last 4 years I have sampled an array of different Scotch whiskies, with no particular methodology, and enjoyed some great flavors, and also learned to differentiate some characteristics. A couple of old Scots gents from the local pub gave me a few pointers too, but honestly I was a complete Philistine in comparison. With an open slate, I randomly bought a bottle of Balvenie Double Wood 12, the main criteria being it was on special for £31.00, and I hadn't tried that many Speysides. Frustratingly, upon opening the bottle I encountered a little problem. Somehow I broke the plastic cap off the cork. Still adequately sealed, rather than send it back to Amazon, I kept the bottle for a few weeks and decided to take it on vacation. One late, sunlight evening, with the help of a wine corkscrew, we removed the broken cork, and on a balcony overlooking a garden with my wife and kids in company, during good conversation, after a fabulous meal (and the rare ambience that such combinations offer), I poured a generous splash over a few cubes of ice, in a favourite-shaped glass. Sipping the Balvenie over hours, I felt the warm glow of everything wonderful. We played board games. I was funny and my family laughed a lot. This is by far my favourite whisky, not solely because of the taste and quality, but also because of the association with things most pleasant.

A good whisky in my opinion, but tastes and preferences vary from person to person. Easy to drink, and smooth. I usually always purchase this from Amazon for the price. It's good value.

I've recently began to collect whiskys and have added this to my collection due to the high rating on here. The rating is marginally less than something like Ardbeg or Laphroaig however I definitely prefer the smoother more refined taste of this whisky than either of those two. (Laphroaig I like, however Ardbeg is something else and far too extreme for me). This has an initially nice soft sherry taste and has a smell a bit like plum. I'm not the type that will go into obnoxious descriptions as some do but it has a nice complicated taste with a mild fairly smokey aftertaste afterwards. There is only the most mild of peat taste to this but it's all it needs really. Overall it has quite a nuanced character. Definitely one of my favourites now. For people who complain about the price, you used to be able to buy bottles of 70ml Dalmore 12 year old and even their Cigar Malt for $20 dollars in the states. They cranked up their price almost triple what it was in 10-15 years. This being £5 more than it was 10 years ago isn't that big of a deal. You're not going to get a very complicated or enjoyable whisky for £20-£30 in most cases.

Great malt!

I purchased the small bottle as a gift and they were delighted. I have tried The Balvenie myself so I knew it was a good great quality whisky. Quick delivery and presented in lovely gift tube it was well received.

Dieser Whisky überzeugt mit einer wunderbar ausgewogenen Balance aus süßer und sanfter Würze. Beim ersten Schluck entfalten sich Noten von Honig und Vanille, begleitet von einem Hauch reifer Früchte. Die milde Süße bleibt angenehm auf der Zunge, bevor sich im Abgang eine dezente, leicht bittere Note zeigt, die für eine elegante Tiefe sorgt. Ein geschmeidiger und zugänglicher Genuss, perfekt für Liebhaber harmonischer Whiskys.

Ce whisky est particulièrement agréable à boire : 1) Je suis un amateur occasionnel de whisky et je dois dire que des la première goutte, on sait que ce produit est de qualité : doux et puissant à la fois. 2) Un rapport qualité-prix très raisonnable je trouve. 3) La bouteille se voit très vite par contre. Je recommande ! Si vous avez des questions et/ou remarques, n'hésitez pas. En espérant que ça vous aide dans votre choix : )

想定通り

Whisky arrivato anche con un giorno di anticipo rispetto a quanto preventivato (che male non fa) imballato perfettamente ed in condizioni perfette. Questo è l'aspetto universalmente importante da sottolineare. Per quanto concerne il whisky stesso, tutto quello che posso dire che non sia puramente soggettivo e legato al gusto personale è che si tratta indubbiamente di un prodotto di qualità, con una più che discreta struttura aromatica ed un buon equilibrio. Venendo invece al gusto personale, lo trovo delizioso, morbido, rotondo, dolce e tutt'altro che banale con un bouquet aromatico vario che balla tra sentori di pesche gialle e mele pink lady (le ritrovo ad ogni sorso), vaniglia, leggero miele, legno verde, pane e una punta di pepe bianco in retronasale. Finale medio lungo. Lo riproverò nelle versioni più invecchiate. Consigliato.

bouteille de 20 cl pour 29€99 ... prix dans le commerce d'une bouteille de 70cl ... contenance pas spécifiée à la commande (impossible à voir avec zoom sur photo) ... small bottle, effectivement, je dirais même plus, tiny bottle !!
