Bellevoye Blue French Whisky Tasting Notes

Colour: Medium gold.

Aroma: Creamy vanilla and honey dominate. It’s got that lumber-y new-wood note that I find in a lot of young, non-Scotch single malts. Ripe apples and a touch of banana. Fresh grass, flowers, mint, and lemon. Some caramel popcorn and graham cracker.

Palate: Fairly thin. Develops very rapidly from sweet caramel to table grapes, heavy oak tannins, and demerara sugar. Spiced with cinnamon, clove and nutmeg.

Finish: Short. Oak and black pepper, with more cloves. The slightest bit of fig.
