Balmenach Darkness - Moscatel Sherry Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 16 Year Old
Out of stock
Balmenach Distillery, founded in 1824 in Speyside, produces a robust and characterful style of malt whisky. Much of its spirit traditionally goes into blends, but independent releases like this showcase the distillery’s weightier spirit, which works particularly well with rich wine and sherry cask finishes.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with mahogany depth and coppery edges, a warm ruby glow.
Nose
Malty and inviting, with bright nectarine, buttery croissants and a touch of salted caramel, evoking bakery-warmed sweetness and ripe fruit.
Palate
Spice, oak and pastries loaded with raisins unfold across the palate, a warm, textured tapestry of biscuit-like sweetness built on a robust malt.
Finish
Floral notes give way to black tea, with chai-spiced chocolate and vanilla shortbread lingering on the palate in a warm, elegant finish.
