Balvenie Single Barrel #15610 Whisky 15 Year Old · 1979 Vintage

Colour

Rich dark amber with a coppery glow and a burnished mahogany edge.

Nose

Honeyed orchard fruit leads the aroma, with vanilla and caramel, then a refined sherry lift: dried fig, raisin and orange zest mingle with cocoa and dark chocolate. Cinnamon and clove thread through polished oak, a touch of almond, and a gentle toffee sweetness, yielding warm, elegant maturity.

Palate

Balvenie’s silky, opulent palate delivers a thick sherried sweetness. Rich raisin, fig, and orange zest unfold over honeyed malt, toffee, and dark chocolate, while cinnamon and nutmeg spice twirl through velvety oak. A long, warming finish carries dried fruit and caramel, with lingering spice.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish of sherry-soaked fruit and warm spice—dried fig and raisin, orange peel and cocoa, braided with toasted oak and a velvety, lingering warmth.
