Balvenie Port Wood Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 1993 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a mahogany-tinged edge.

Nose

Ripe red berries and plum lift a lush nose of dried fig and raisin, threaded with port-wine spice. Honeyed malt, vanilla and toffee mingle with polished oak, while cocoa and almond notes provide a decadent, wine-kissed depth.

Palate

Silky and opulent, the palate drinks in Port-finished fruit: plum, blackberry and fig mingle with raisin, while creamy vanilla, toffee and caramel oak weave through. Ginger and baking spices provide warmth, and the texture remains velvety with a gently lingering, fruit-driven finish.

Finish

Silky, port-powered finish lingers with ruby fruit and caramel, as dried cherry and raisin mingle with vanilla and soft oak. A whisper of spice threads through. The Port Wood coats the palate in a long, velvet tail—warm, elegant, and gently nutty, fading to sweet, polished tannins.
