Balvenie Craftsman's Reserve No. 1 The Cooper 15 Year Old, Sherry Cask, Cask #10142 & 17949, 2012, 59.4%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

86 / 100

A charming nose followed by delicate flavours and a pleasant mouthfeel sounds like a graceful direction, rather than a big, smoky statement. The long-lasting finish is a nice closing note. I wouldn’t claim this is smoke-free from the unpeated label alone, but smoke isn’t part of the described character here. For a smoke-focused palate, this seems more about delicacy and staying power than peat.
