Little Duos, immediately Burnside for Switzerland
Burnside is teaspooned Balvenie. Now allow us to remind everybody that nobody’s ever seen anyone wandering all through any Scottish warehouses or filling stations carrying teaspoons, even at teatime. (Antiques And Teacups)

Spoon Man 19 yo 1999/2019 (59.1%, A.D. Rattray, for Switzerland, bourbon hogshead, cask #2129, 259 bottles) 
Rolling on the ground and laughing out loud. Form of. Severely, this example is turning into grotesque and that may’t be good for manufacturers. Spoon Man is Burnside, and Burnside is Balvenie, there. Color: gentle gold. Nostril: barley, mirabelles, quinces, lemonade and custard, that is very bourbon-Balvenie certainly. With water: extra of all that, emphasis on custard. How very Balvenie! Mouth (neat): glorious, tart and but fats, lemony, doughy, with excellent truffles and syrups. Eminently Balvenie, many 15s single barrels have been similar to this (whereas these 15s have been typically a lot older than simply 15). With water: elder syrup, orangeade, mirabelle liqueur, quince jelly, briefly all the things we like quite a bit in Balvenie. End: relatively lengthy, a tad American-oak-driven and relatively quite a bit on mirabelles. Mirabelle jam is sitting proper between Beluga caviar and white truffles from Alba in our guide. Barely joking. Feedback: extraordinarily good – and all on mirabelle eau-de-vie.

Burnside 24 yo 1992 (50.1%, C. Dully for Home of Malts St. Gallen, hogshead, cask #10260, 141 bottles, +/-2017) 
A mysterious bottle from and for neighbouring Switzerland. As we are saying in Alsace, hoppla! Color: gentle gold. Nostril: it’s a relatively leafy Balvenie, as soon as once more nicely within the model of the official single barrels (nobody’s ever actually understood how they have been labelling these whiskies), with candy blond beers, mirabelles repeatedly, greengages, and each elderberry eau-de-vie and recent hoppy beers. Our Swiss buddies are excellent at making eaux-de-vie, similar to us Alsatians (yeah, truthfully). With water: mullein and mirabelle, waldmeister… Mouth (neat): very good! Early Seventies Balvenies have been like this, sufficient stated. With water: overripe apples and yellow plums, mirabelles, quinces, meadow honey… That is simply magnificent, what a spirit. End: medium, completely, plainly, integrally Balvenie, that’s to say stuffed with ripe plums, with orangs within the aftertaste. Feedback: beautiful drop, so completely near the home model.
