A disappointment regarding its appearance and taste. The Tun series is superior, and Macallan Rare was much better. I'm still glad I tried it, but I would have chosen a different 30-year-old in retrospect. This comes from a regular Balvenie drinker.

Quite disappointing. Beyond the expected notes for a 21-year-old, all I detected was a gasoline or acetone scent, as noted by another. Curious given the 90-point score; the high price is certainly not justified.

Possesses the expected smoothness of a Balvenie, especially for a 30-year-old expression.

Sweet, fruity taste. Absolutely no peat.

Amazing! Fantastic scotch.
