Balmenach 10 Years Old 2005 Provenance (46%, Douglas Laing, Refill HH #11247, 2016) Whisky review Category: Speyside single malt scotch whisky Origin: Balmenach Distillery Bottling: Douglas Laing, Provenance ABV: 46% Cost: £41.50 […]
A dram full of interesting and quite complex flavours, this one borders on the line between fruit and flowery with a hint creeping in of fabric softener or similar. Saved at the end by an intensity of spice and oak wood, making it very moreish. 83/100
