About this bottle
The Balvenie Thirty is a rare expression, and one where David Stewart, the Malt Master, hand selects and marries together the finest traditional oak whisky casks and European sherry casks that have been laid to rest over 30 years ago.

A let down in terms of presentation and flavor. The Tun series is much better and Macallan Rare blew it out of water. Still glad I did it but hindsight I would have picked another 30. This is from a balvenie regular
So disappointing. The only thing I got in addition to the 21 was gasoline - or acetone, as the whiskey exchange says. Strange... 90 points, really not worth the crazy price
The smoothness you expect from a Balvenie and a 30 year
Sweet fruity palate. Not peaty at all.
Unbelievable! Fantastic scotch.
