It’s definitely good, but I was a little underwhelmed for the price. I only tried it after first opening it, so it’s probably worth another try to see if it’s opened up at all.
Awesome “selection”! Balvenie is one of my favorite distilleries. I try and buy anything from them I can get my hands on. If you’re able, look for any of the Tun 1509 bottles. They are fantastic.
How are the 12 and 15 SB ? I have been seeing those around but not much info. The 14 CC and Sweet Toast are very nice drams. I wish I could find more of their spirit around me, I like their flavor profile.
I used the Portwood in a blind tasting to illustrate to some friends new to whisky that age doesn't necessarily equate to quality. It's still awesome: but I don't think it's drastically better than the standard Doublewood. Great collection!
So jealous! I’ve only had Creation of a Classic, 12 Doublewood and Caribbean Cask but they’re definitely some of my favorites
Where’d you pick up the creation of a classic? I got it from duty free in Scotland, haven’t seen it anywhere else.
Nice! Have you tried the Week of Peat?
Yep, I’ve tried them all, week of peat is almost gone!
Unpopular opinion but the 12 year old Doublewood is better than the 17 year old Doublewood for the price!
Idk how unpopular that is, I agree.
What are your favorites?
The 21 is probably my favorite, but the 16 triple cask is hard to beat.
I've never seen the 18PX. What are your thoughts on that?

Okay gotta ask, what's your favorite? Also is the 21yr portwood worth it?
I think the 21 port wood is my favorite, it’s super smooth.

Nice, I love their Caribbean Cast
Nice boxes, now let’s see the scotch. Or is it already down into your belly?
You need to add the second rose. Hella nice and unique.

I semi-frequently pick up the 12yr double cask from Costco. Excellent drink!
That 17 doublewood i need it, how it taste?
It’s terrific…it’s also (imho) the woodiest of them. Also: discontinued. So if you see one for under $170 I’d grab it. They’re starting to disappear.

Solid!
Wow, I`m very jealous. Balvenie is one of my faves. Unluckily my local store only carries the 12 double barrel and the 14 Caribbean cask.
The Balvenie I ever had, oddly enough, is the 10 year old Founder's Reserve.
