Balvenie Classic 1980sSpeyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery Bottling 75cl 43% The old Balvenie Classic, a short lived but excellent bottling from the 1980s. One of the early examples of NAS whisky, although this one was actually a very good and fairly priced dram when it first came out. Waxy, fruity, and slightly leathery with cereal and citrus notes throughout. Attributes Distillery Balvenie Bottler Distillery Series Classic Country Scotland Region Speyside
