Balmenach Flora & Fauna Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old
Out of stock
Flora and Fauna, nicknamed by the late whisky writer, Michael Jackson, was a themed series of distillery only single malt whisky releases. Each distillery was given a particular creature as its symbol, which is elegantly displayed on each bottle's beautiful label.
Gradually as distilleries were commercialised, closed or sold, the range of Flora and Fauna contracted, leaving these select remaining bottles collectable. Most often blended, whisky from each of these distilleries is rarely bottled as single malt, making each bottle from this collection even more rare.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep copper-amber with luxuriously rich mahogany undertones and a warm, sunlit glow.
Nose
Opulent sherry aroma, ripe with dark fruits—raisins, figs, cherries—layered with velvety toffee and cocoa. Vanilla and almond mingle with orange zest, while toasted oak and malt provide warmth. A whisper of spice and subtle forest-floor notes finish the impression, hinting at Balmenach’s heritage.
Palate
Silky and balanced, it coats the palate with orchard fruits and toasted almond, a sherry-tinged sweetness weaving through a delicate malt. Nutmeg and cocoa mingle with ripe berries, while oak and subtle barley provide structure, finishing warm with vanilla and lingering spice.
Finish
Long and elegant, the finish unfurls to reveal rich sherry sweetness interlaced with dried fruit, orange rind and cocoa. Subtle spice and warm oak persist, tapering to a silky, lingering glow that leaves a refined, jubilant memory on the palate.
