1980’s The Balvenie Founders Reserve 4cl

This is an un – open, an appears to be a 4cl fill level

Balvenie 10 yo ‘Founder’s Reserve’ (40%, OB, Cognac bottle, 1980’s)

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 and dry
