The Tasting Notes
Rich and intensely fruity with a floral fragrance, hints of vanilla emerge through notes of dried apricots, cirtus, ginger and well integrated oak.
Orange blossom, candied ginger, cinnamon and honeyed sweetness are followed by oak, vanilla and a delicate sherried fruitiness.
Warm and elegant with a honeyed, citrus richness.
Details
The Balvenie Distillery lies at the heart of Speyside, in the Scottish Highlands. Nowhere else will you find a distillery that still grows its own barley, still malts in its own traditional floor maltings and still employs a team of coopers to tend all the casks and a coppersmith to maintain the stills.
Their fifth rare craft is that of Malt Master David Stewart. His five decades of experience have been put to fine use in creating this rare expression by marrying together beautifully aged Balvenie matured in traditional whisky oak casks and sherry oak casks. The result is a deliciously complex single malt.
