The Balvenie is not usually known for value, but most of their expressions that I have tried are pleasant if not magic...
Balvenie - "It tastes expensive... and is" wait that was Maker's Mark :-)
Nice review. Congratulations on the 3k.

@@WhiskyJason1 strange. It shows 3k on my side
youtube round off numbers - bit still thanks!!!
Good to see Balvenie coming through on the alcohol level if not the other labeling issues. This is not even available online in Japan. The Doublewood 12 is just under $50, which is not the best value for the price.
Balvenie is often hit or miss in my opinion
This Balvenie sells for close to $180 here in SoCal. If I’m in the mood for a French Oak influenced whisky, I’ll settle for a Glenlivet 15 for $65.
very good choice Lorenz
FYI : 169 is in my local shops in Southern California as you stated a big Balvenie fan so price is OK .
ENJOY Jan!
Picked up a bottle blind this afternoon.
Hope you enjoy it!
Jason can you recommend some sellers offering these as whisky samples? Thank you for another great review.......Slainte!
which country??
Hi Jason
Love the channel , love the way you present your opinions , all good stuff .
You sense a BUT ( only my opinion ) but your scoring system C+ or D- etc etc is just too bloody complicated for a simple man like me ,🤣and many others I presume , what’s wrong with good old marks out of 10 it’s so much more relatable .IMO 👍
I teach for a living - and everybody got grades in school. I find the 1-10 system more confusing. As nothing that it is 0-5 is something I would drink
Want french oak? Makers 46 is really good and not very expensive. The game of thrones bottle Mortlach 6 kingdoms used alot of french oak casks, its long gone now though. I don't like this luxury branded whiskys that we are going into but what can you do.
I "forgot" about Makers 46 - great tip!
136 euros in Bulgaria. No, thanks. The rest I have already said in the comments under the Madeira Finish 15 yo review.
Cheers!
CHEERS!!
Haha - first time around I thought you said Pernod casks😂 Somehow I don't think that would come out well😉
thanks René
