Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep amber with golden highlights, exuding warmth and depth. The whisky clings to the glass with slow, luxurious legs, hinting at its complexity.
Nose: The nose offers an inviting bouquet of toasted oak and delicate spices, layered with creamy butterscotch, ripe red berries, and a touch of honeyed sweetness. A subtle influence of the French Pineau cask adds hints of spiced wine and soft vanilla, creating a beautifully rounded aroma.
Palate: On the palate, this whisky is velvety and full-bodied. It opens with dried fruits—notes of raisins, figs, and a whisper of stewed plums. These flavors meld into a creamy core of vanilla and honey, with an undercurrent of gentle oaky tannins. The French Pineau cask imparts a delightful wine-like sweetness that complements Balvenie’s signature malt character, along with nuances of dark chocolate, toasted almonds, and a hint of cinnamon.
Finish: The finish is long, smooth, and lingering, with gentle oak spice, caramel, and a sustained, sweet wine influence. Subtle hints of fruit and honey leave a delicate warmth that lasts long after the final sip.
