Balvenie Madeira Cask 1st Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 17 Year Old · 1992 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with a warm honey-gold core and coppery, mahogany-tinged edges.

Nose

Opulent nose of dried apricot, fig and raisin, layered with honeyed vanilla and toffee. Madeira deepens the oak, delivering caramelized sugar, orange zest and a gentle spice, with cocoa and almond hints completing a refined, lingering richness.

Palate

Silky and opulent on the palate, Madeira adds sueded sweetness of fig, date, and raisin with a bright orange lift. Rich toffee and dark chocolate mingle with warm spice and toasted almond, while polished oak and a hint of rancio carry into a long, refined finish.

Finish

Long and luxurious, the finish weaves Madeira-soaked fruit with toasted almond and honeyed sweetness. Raisin, fig and orange marmalade deepen into cocoa and spice, while velvety oak supports a warm, lingering glow that slowly fades to refined, elegant finish.
