Nose: Starfruit, marzipan, white grapes, cream, hints of leather. With water, white grapes, green tea, white pepper.

Comments: 

This is teaspooned Kininvie - teaspooned with what, I don’t know, probably Balvenie. It’s quite a Balvenie-like whisky as it happens, lots of orange and fruit. But there’s some white grapes, as well as spicy herbal notes. Very nice indeed. 

Verdict:

I like this a lot.

Teaspooned malt - Speyside
Dark gold
46.4% ABV
Dram

Nose: Rambutans, green tea, raisins, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, orange peel. 
Mouthfeel: Light body, slippery, loosens, cool. 
Tasting:  Bitter sweet. Green tea, raisins, fresh baked bread, black tea, brown butter, hints of cinnamon. 
Finish: Medium. Black tea, bitter orange, pear drops, orange peel, cinnamon. 

Comments: 

Cask 7378. This is teaspooned Balvenie of course, probably with Glenfiddich. It's really classic Speyside whisky, plenty of fruit (hello rambutans!), some cereal, some tannins, and plenty of Balvenie orange peel.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
