Liquorfang - Burnside (Balvenie) 20 Year Old 1999 Cask 2123

When we take a glance on the label and box, we immediately understand this is the latest release of Mr. Fang’s ‘Music & Color’ series.The studio album picked to pair is The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd, released in 1973. The cover became an visual icon for Pink Floyd itself - depicting white light passing through a prism to form the bright colors of the spectrum. Mr. Fang thinks that this optical concept is similar with the idea of Blending in whisky, that’s why he would like to find Blended Whisky at first place.However, Blended Whisky is not common to trade as single cask in the field, Mr. Fang then started to find the best alternative - Blended Malt Whisky. He came across with this Burnside and decided to bottle it immediately. As you may know, Burnside is a Teaspoon Malts with lots of Balvenie.On nose there is significant floral notes, with hints of fruitiness and notes of cakes. On palate is oily, with a hint of spices, it then turns into bouquet and orange bitters. The finish is sweet and mellow, with hints of vanilla cream, citrus and a hint of leathery tobacco notes.
