![Balvenie 17 Year Old Islay Cask](/image/2/360/720/2/images/products/balvenie-17-year-old-islay-cask-9398.jpg)
Colour is wheat field to burnished gold. Nose is very simple and straight forward. Touch of peat without any smoke (of course). Some vanilla.
A strong oak barrel flavour at the back of the throat and some smoke comes up through the nose from the inside. Long smooth finish.
A departure for Balvenie, but very enjoyable.
