Tasted Blind:

A pleasant nose with honey covered peaches citrus fruit. But I would get some flashes of stale sherry.  A bit thin on the palate with initial citrus tanginess. Gets a bit toasty/ bready in the mid-palate. There's a winey-like component in here as well (white wine). The wood emerges toward the finish with a hint of salt.

This wasn't great and it wasn't bad. The word "safe" popped up several times as I took the time to nose and taste this.  It's nice to drink  and unobejectionable. I was not suprised to find out this was a Balvenie as I feel most of their stuff is very easy drinking without the "aha" moments. Tun 1401 Batch 3 is the exception. 

n:  Sweet white wine in a lead pipe.  Tad musty.

p:  Hint of plums, potpouri, and white pepper.   Very blendy, but a good blend at least.

This keeps with the Balvenie tradition of "safe whisky".  It's hard to dislike.  It's hard to like.  I'm afraid I'll forget this one by tomorrow.
