Balvenie Islay Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 17 Year Old
Out of stock
Cult Cult Cult that's what we have to say about this very much sought after Balvenie that has been matured in ex-Islay single malt casks. Only 94 casks of this were ever produced and although they do now make a Peated cask, this is the real deal, so expect this to become much more in demand over the coming years. Stop Press Balvenie have now discontinued their Peated cask also.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a warm, honeyed glow.
Nose
Subtly peated, this Balvenie unveils a refined peat smoke, threaded with sea-salt brine and iodine. Beneath, warm honeyed vanilla, toasted barley, and orchard fruit rise with a delicate sherry-like sweetness, while oak spices linger. A poised, maritime nose that hints at Islay cask influence without heaviness.
Palate
Silky, mouth-coating and subtly peated, this Balvenie layers honeyed malt with vanilla, toffee and ripe orchard fruit. Sea-salt and iodine lift the mid-palate, carried by a gentle Islay smoke. Warm spice and oak emerge toward a long, refined finish, leaving a creamy, smoky sweetness that lingers.
Finish
A long, smoky finish with coastal peat and sea-salt notes, balanced by Balvenie’s honeyed sweetness. Vanilla, citrus rind and gentle oak spice linger, tapering to a warm, caramel-soft echo that keeps the peat hovering in the afterglow.
