Balvenie Single Barrel #1790 Whisky 15 Year Old · 1988 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber with coppery depth and a touch of mahogany, a warm honey-gold glow.

Nose

Opulent, sherried aromas of fig, prune and raisin mingle with orange zest and honeyed vanilla. Rich almond, toffee and toasted oak unfold, underscored by cocoa, a whisper of spice and elegant leather.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied, this palate unveils deep sherry sweetness—fig, plum and dried fruit—woven with polished oak. Rich notes of dark chocolate, toffee and caramel mingle with spice—cinnamon and clove—while hints of almond and tobacco add nuance. The finish is long, warm and velvety, leaving a lingering honeyed warmth across the tongue.

Finish

An expansive, luxurious finish that lingers like velvet. Dense raisin and fig sweetness from the sherry coat the palate, melting into warm spiced notes, cocoa and dark chocolate. Oak sweetness trails softly as the glow persists, leaving a refined, enduring warmth that invites the next indulgent sip.
