Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
This 1993 single cask bottling is part of Chapter 3 of The Balvenie’s DCS Compendium series, which honors the distillery’s longtime Malt Master, David Stewart. It was matured for 23 years in a refill American Oak hogshead cask (#11621), and the nose is creamy with notes of vanilla, honey, caramel ice cream topping, fudge, and muted spices. The taste is smooth and creamy with lots of vanilla, honey, fudge, and dark chocolate at first, and then the spices come alive with clove, white pepper, black pepper, and a hint of cinnamon that last throughout the long, warming finish. Excellent! (November, 2017)
