Balvenie Founders Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Cognac Bottle) 10 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with coppery hues and sunlit honey-gold highlights.

Nose

Opulent, Cognac-brushed nose: ripe apricot and pear mingle with honeyed vanilla and creamy toffee. Dried fruit notes—raisin and fig—rise beneath citrus zest, while warm spice and polished oak add refinement. A suave, brandy-inflected bouquet that promises richness and elegance.

Palate

Silky and velvety on the palate, this Balvenie reveals honeyed vanilla and toffee, lifted by orchard fruit—pear and green apple—with a ribbon of citrus zest. Dried apricot and almond add depth, while Cognac cask influence brings subtle cacao and spice. A gentle oak backbone supports a warm, enduring finish with creamy sweetness and refined balance.

Finish

Silky, lingering finish with a warm orchard-fruit glow and a whisper of Cognac sweetness from the cask. Velvet vanilla threads through toasted oak as gentle spice unfurls, leaving a long, honeyed fruit tapestry and a subtle oak tannin fade.
