Tasting Notes

Colour

Sunlit golden amber with honeyed warmth and a whisper of copper glow.

Nose

Warm honey and vanilla lead the nose, woven with creamy malt and bright orchard fruits. Subtle spice grows as dark-sherry hints add depth, with smooth oak and toffee sweetness lingering in the finish.

Palate

Silky and honeyed on the palate, the whisky glides with creamy vanilla and bright toffee, ripening orchard fruits and orange zest, balanced by subtle oak and warm spice. A gentle sherry-influenced sweetness lingers, leaving a velvety, inviting finish.

Finish

Silky, long finish that clings with honeyed vanilla and delicate toffee. Oak and spice rise softly, unveiling pear and orchard fruit before fading to a warm, comforting glow.

Balvenie
(bal-VENN-ee) Founded in 1889 by William Grant, Balvenie is located next to the giant Glenfiddich distillery on the outskirts of Dufftown in Speyside. The distillery employs traditional whisky making methods, being one of the few to retain its original floor maltings and on site cooperage. The Balvenie single malt is typically rich, luxuriously smooth, and has a distinctive honeyed character.
