Balvenie Single Barrel #15014 Whisky 25 Year Old · 1974 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights.

Nose

Opulent aroma of rich dried fruits—raisin and fig—bound with orange zest and warm vanilla. A sherried sweetness lingers over polished oak, with toffee, honey, and a nutty, almondy edge that hints at decades in a single cask.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, the palate unfolds with honeyed vanilla, toffee and ripe orchard fruit, layered over velvety oak. Rich sherried notes of fig, raisin and orange zest mingle with almond and cocoa, while warm spice—gentle cinnamon and clove—threads through. A long, polished finish with lingering sweetness and refined tingle of oak.

Finish

Powerfully long and luxurious, the finish unfurls with sherry-cask depth: dried fig and raisin, honeyed caramel, cocoa and toasted almond spice. A warm oak glow lingers, carrying the finale into a refined, enduring echo with a delicate whisper of sherry.
