Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with mahogany hues and a coppery shimmer.
Nose
Warm and inviting, this Balmenach unveils orchard fruit, honeyed vanilla, and toasted oak. Sherry cask influence shimmers with dried fig and raisin, tempered by cocoa, spice, and a whisper of polished leather.
Palate
Velvety and richly textured, Balmenach unveils dark fruit sweetness—figs and raisins—woven with roasted almond and cocoa. Sherry depth delivers orange zest, spice, and a hint of leather against a malty backbone. The palate lingers long and refined, with oak, nutmeg, and a gentle, warming finish.
Finish
An enduring finish of rich dried fruit and fig, wrapped in cocoa-tinted oak. Cinnamon and clove spice linger as a warm Sherry glow persists, yielding a velvety, nutty aftertaste that slowly fades.
