Balvenie Pedro Ximenez Cask Matured Single Malt Scotch Whisky 18 Year Old
In stock
Balvenie has long been a pioneer in the art of double maturation, having popularised this technique in the 1980s. This exceptional Single Malt begins its maturation in American oak casks, where it develops a solid foundation of flavour. It then undergoes a finishing period in Pedro Ximenez sherry butts, infusing the Whisky with an array of delightful sweet notes.
The result is a beautifully layered expression that features enchanting hints of lavender, juicy mandarin, and rich dried figs, all complementing Balvenie’s signature honeyed character. This thoughtful combination creates a complex and inviting profile that showcases the mastery behind Balvenie's craftsmanship, offering a unique tasting experience for whisky lovers.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with coppery mahogany undertones and a warm honey-bronze glow.
Nose
Enigmatic lavender and juicy mandarin lead, framed by rich dried fig and honeyed sweetness. Subtle sherry-soaked oak, almond, and a whisper of spice weave through, creating a velvety, refined aroma.
Palate
Silky and honeyed on the palate, it blooms with lavender, juicy mandarin, and rich dried figs. The Pedro Ximénez finish drapes sweetness in velvet, while delicate oak and a touch of spice provide a refined framework, yielding a long, raisiny finish that lingers with warmth and citrus brightness.
Finish
Long, luxurious finish with honeyed warmth and decadent dried fig notes, bright mandarin zest, and a whisper of lavender, unfolding into a velvety sherry-soaked echo. The Pedro Ximenez influence lingers as a dessert-like sweetness that finally softens to toasted oak and spice.
