So, let's dive right into the review!

The Single Cask Balmenach 2003 12 Years Old (50% abv)

Nose: Easy and approachable, with thyme and mint initially followed by soft caramel and orange peel.   Palate: Well rounded and gentle, with nuts and sweetness in the form of toffee and vanilla, still with a fruity edge.   Finish: Finishes on soft malt and citrus elements.

This expression is sold out worldwide.
