I had an old bottling of Balvenie Double Wood kicking around from a few years back (perhaps 5 years ago). Kind of forgotten how tasty this was. So will have to check recent bottles to see how they compare. This was altogether a lot sweeter and certainly smoother than I remember. Here's what I wrote...
Nose - Cute, bib, but refined, maltly, orange, doughnut, citrus, sawdust, rounded, cream-sherry choc-orange, dusty spice edge, biscuit, model railways
Taste - Rhubarb and custard, naughty sweets, sweet and smooth - almost rum like qualities, custard cream biscuit, citrus touches, Corn-flakes with milk, so willing to please, charm personified, a dram willing to give up it's seat for you.
Finish - Skipping into mid distance reverie. Pleasant, nothing shocking, perhaps too willing to please? Beautifully constructed. Smash Hits style repeat to fade. Those "O" shape selection box biscuits. School boy Demerara sugar and rice pudding.
Model railways? Hornby I suppose?
