I remember getting this for $110 when it first came out. Enjoyed it. Prices down here are getting closer to $200. For that much will not be buying it again. Fun video.

OK, so this is expensive and the cheapos will groan about it, but at the end of the day us whisky nuts don’t always have to buy based on cost/value proposition. Sometimes we buy just because we can, and why not. Life is too short to always stay below a specific price point. I just bought the Glenmo Signet and I’m gonna enjoy it no matter that it might not make financial sense. Live life, drink whisky, and enjoy yourself. Oh, and share your bottles. They taste even better when shared with friends. Cheers guys.

Been off Balvenie for a while. Had the 21 portwood at a friend's house recently and was underwhelmed, reaffirming my notion of avoidance. This review has me interested in this one though. Thanks guys.

$180? That is genuinely hilarious to me. The quality of whisky you could buy for that... I understand you all trying it, but I could never bring myself to do it for pure consuming purposes.

Not sure how “fair” it would be but I really wanna do a head to head with the Macallan 15. Two very different finishes but same price point “big namers”

I've had one of these for quite a while now, and I really like it. Balvenie does a good job with this. French Oak can be a lot to handle, but this does it quite well. I get most of the same tasting notes as most of you. Lots of white pepper as well. Quite complex, and a beautiful finish.

Unfortunately I bought this when it first hit the shelves in Texas. Price shot up after first release-I first saw it at 200-210, but when I went to buy it was $250 everywhere. I have noticed the price drop to the $180 here now as well. Lovely dram, but tough on the wallet.

Wonder how this compares the Glenmorangie Nectar D’Or? That would be a cool comparison show!

Love me some Balvenie but this one was a dissapointment... especially for the asking price
@christinecamley 5 ай бұрын
I’d never pay this amount for this whisky. I could get much better single malt for this money. This was not worth this price.

Balvenie, I love and hate you now. You make great whisky, and your prices are greedy insane. It sounds like if you take price out of the equation, most of you would be in the 3.5-4 range for its finish and layered tastes. Most 15 year old whiskies are hovering around $110 dollars these days. This expression is about $11/year. Most (not all) 12 year old whiskies your getting around $6 per year. The price is doubling on this whisky if you look at price per year. Perhaps they are just going for the "I am true luxury product pay more because I am luxury" business model. Sad really. Perhaps they are not marketing this whisky for me, but it is good to know that if you do spend the money at least your getting a good tasting whisky.
