Balvenie Doublewood 12yr - the nose is light with a hint of wood. On the palate you get a bit more power and a full mouth warmth. Finish gives you more of that wood and heat. It’s a good, easy drinker. Won’t go out of my way to get but wouldn’t feel bad if given a dram. — 17 days ago
I thought the one we had prior was a little better. Some browning around the edge and a taste over extracted which I expect is due to the same factors. Great nose and the flavors were fine. It got more intense with air and that over extracted came out a bit more over time (decanted and the prior one was not). I would not decant and let it shine for a longer period. — 19 days ago
It’s nice but light on flavors with a bit of a bitter finish — 6 days ago
Beautiful. Had over two days and the air only helped. — 19 days ago
Nose was muted on opening but came out with air. Delightful wine that outshine the Hourglass from the start and until the end although it was no slouch. — 19 days ago
Better as it opened up. The nose faded fast though and I’m assuming this is whole cluster since it certainly has that bramble/green on the palate and finish — a month ago
It’s fine but not amazing. For the dinner I expected better. — 6 days ago
Wow. This this is everything you could want it a wine. It’s big and bold. The aroma pops right out of the glass and fills the room. My son who I usually go to for commentary on the nose said there was no need for me to pass the glass. He said it was liked you open up a huge bottle of fruit punch. The aromatics were amazing and the taste on the palate was just as big. Delicious and a long finish to bring it home. This was great. — a month ago
