Balvenie Single Barrel #831 Whisky 15 Year Old · 1977 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery-bronze glow and mahogany edges—a warm, radiant hue that hints at sherry influence.

Nose

Opulent, honeyed and oak-forward, with dried fruit richness. Raisin, fig and prune mingle with orange zest, vanilla and almond. Subtle leather, cocoa and spice (nutmeg, clove) rise, carried by a delicate sherry glow that hints at a velvety, long finish.

Palate

Silky, opulent on the palate, honeyed cream threads through orange zest and dried fig, lifted by the sherry’s velvety depth. Prunes, raisin and dark chocolate mingle with toasted oak and spice—nutmeg, cinnamon—while a warm vanilla glow surrounds the fruit. The balance is lush and persistent, delivering a refined finish of leather, resin, and lingering sweetness.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish with sherry‑rich sweetness and toasted oak. Dried fig and raisin drift with vanilla, while spice threads through the lingering warmth. A velvety, honeyed fade remains, leaving a refined, oak-kissed resonance that invites another sip.
