Balvenie Craftsman's Reserve Promo Pack Whisky 15 Year Old · 1996 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber with a sunlit honey core, edged by copper-tinged mahogany tones that glow with warmth.

Nose

Opulent and warming, the nose opens with dark plum and fig, braided with rich sherry. Honeyed vanilla, toffee and polished oak rise with cinnamon and clove, while dried fruit, almond and a touch of cocoa linger. A waxy Balvenie sweetness folds into leather and spice, inviting a bold, lingering aroma.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied, this 15-year Balvenie coats the palate with dark fig and raisin fruit, layered by sherry sweetness and vanilla-caramel. Spices—cinnamon and clove—rise with toasted oak, while waxy, honeyed textures add depth. Cocoa and dried-fruit notes weave through a lush, velvety mouthfeel, finishing long with warming spice, oak and a subtle balsamic undertone.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish that unfolds in waves of sherry-soaked fruit—raisin and fig—with a whisper of cacao and toasted oak. The 15-year maturation lends a velvety sweetness that lingers on the palate, with warm spice—clove and cinnamon—staying as an elegant, enduring ribbon.
