Balvenie Port Wood Single Malt Scotch Whisky 1989 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper‑mahogany undertones and a warm, ruby‑tinged glow.

Nose

Opulent Port-infused aromas rise with red plum, blackberry and raisin, balanced by honeyed Balvenie sweetness. Vanilla, toffee and orange zest mingle with polished oak, while warm spices—cinnamon and nutmeg—linger. A touch of dark chocolate and leather adds depth as the bouquet settles, signaling a long, luxurious finish.

Palate

Silky and decadent, the palate opens with ripe red fruits—plum, fig, raisin—nuanced by cocoa and a touch of toffee. Velvet texture carries a Port-driven sweetness, while cinnamon and clove shine through honeyed Balvenie oak. Warm, refined, and long on the finish.

Finish

Silky and lingering, the finish unfurls with lush red-berry sweetness and warm spice, guided by the Port-cask influence. Vanilla and cocoa weave through polished oak, leaving a long, velvety fade that softly coats the palate.
