by counsel - Top 1000, Apr 29 '00
Pros: Smooth, full-bodied with surprising complexity, inexpensive Cons: A bit harsher than its 15-year-old cousins
All of us involved in tonight's "Scotch sip-off," as it were, needed little excuse to knock back a dram - and even less to nose the stuff, or swish it about in our mouths. Tonight we get to do both; I always enjoy it more when I don't have to...

Pros: Light, malty, good summer malt and an excellent Scotch introduction Cons: Relatively simple in profile, a touch volatile. The vile next morning.
Perhaps I should be angry with my roommate of two years. Realistically, I should be. But I just can't quite bring myself to be for when I was introduced to single malt Scotch whisky, a metaphorical new world opened. A delicious new world. Of ...

Pros: High quality, good price, wonderful flavor, smooth finish. Cons: Not well known, not in every store, not for everyone.

Pros: delicious, great body & finish Cons: none, especially for the price
The Balvenie 12 year old double wood single malt scotch is a great scotch. I definitely am going to buy a bottle of this for the bar at home. If you’ve never tried it, make sure you have a glass at your local bar the next time you’re craving a...

Pros: Unique; Good Price; Great Nose Cons: Unique - I'm sure someone out there hates sherry.
The second single malt I ever tasted was this, the twelve year old Balvenie.
The Balvenie has made a career of a double aging process, maturing their whisky in a two separate barrels, one traditional, one used in a prior life for a...

Pros: Flavor-Flavor-Flavor! Cons: Hard to find
One of the finest scotches made and not like some more "touted" scotches that are merely a cigar in a bottle!
I came across the magnificent Balvenie quite by accident.
I was doing some random scotch purchasing, and noticed this somewhat obscure...
