According to the German sites it is not coloured. I was exited to get one of these for our club a few years back and was disappointed with it. It around $400AUD here now which is insane! 40% for a 21yr and that kind of money is just an insult. So many much better port finished drams for a lot much less money. Cheers 🥃
Indeed a lot of money. I see the 47% one on their website but there is no price. The nose promises more that the taste in my opinion. Cheers Ken. Nice to get some feedback from you.
In my area these used to be $160 USD to $180 in 2019. These have been going up ever since and are now $299 to $323 USD. I have one bottle in the bunker and that’s it. I’m not buying anymore. Balvenie has a very odd pricing model now and I’m done with them.
I like the Balvinie 21 year old. I got a sample of my brother and I wont buy it. Too much money and there is so much whiskey out there that is cheaper and better. Cheers from sweden.
I like Balvenie, the 12 year double wood was one of my first single malt whiskys, it´s also the first one I offer to friends who are new to whisky, but this one is out of my price range...I think I´m trying the Caribbean Cask next. Thanks for the helpful review.
You've posted several videos from travel retail/duty free shops in various countries, but I can't remember: have you come across the 47.6% ABV version of the PortWood anywhere? Just wonder what the price would have been for that and if it might present a better value proposition for you... (I got a bottle from an auction website, but that was back in 2018.)
I've never seen the 21 yr old Balvenie at any other ABV other than 40%. The 30 yr old Balvenie is bottled at 47.3%. I agree pricing on this is crazy, the cheapest price here in South Africa is R3750 a bottle. Cheaper than your 200 Euros, but not by much.
@@WhiskyLoversSociety On most whiskies, yes. S.A seems to be on par with the U.S when it comes to whisky prices and market offerings. S.A and the U.S are the only 2 markets globally that still have 750ml bottles, the rest of the world is 700ml.

Wow. That’s crazy expensive. No way that I will pay that.

Hey Benza. Have to agree. It is a lot of money. Did you enjoy it!
@@WhiskyLoversSociety Yeah i liked it alot but too much money for the dram and The price is gonna increase over time.
@@benzabenza2743 🫡. Yes. Prices are getting crazy. Even the NAS whisky.

seems too me that a lot of whisky is now getting out of reach for me as well.
I would tend to try rather than buy, so I'm right with you on this one, Gert. Cheers.
Indeed Al, but it is nice. Appreciate your input mate. Cheers
Received this as a gift last year, really good stuff, but even pricier in the US. Great review & love the t-shirt! Cheers
Wow. Nice gift. Appreciate the comment on my new shirt. Gift from my wife
I bought a bottle in the US today and its 40% abv. You should try the Balvenie 16 french Oak.
Will try to get a 16. Cheers

Cannot remember seeing one at 47. Only on their website. I see they are selling them at 43% abv in the US. Cheers Andrew.

The prices in SA is generally cheaper than in Europe.

@@thepatriotsrage661 yes.
