More refined and deeper Doublewood experience from The Balvenie. 86/100

The Balvenie 14 Years Old 2002 Peat Week (48.3%, OB, 2017)
A rather closed nose opens slowly to reveal a monotone and dry whisky, hints of ripe bananas and honey elude to Balvenie’s sweet spirit character but mostly this tastes of peat but not particularly phenolic, a little nutty perhaps, there is clearly quality here but this experiment is not for me. 80/100
Tullamore D.E.W. Original (40%, OB, 2015)
Sweet fruity and plenty of toffee, reasonable depth and body. Very drinkable and hard to find flaw with – not a bad introduction to Irish whiskey. 83/100
