Balvenie Single Barrel #9074 Whisky 15 Year Old · 1995 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a warm, ruby-tinged glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry-driven aroma with dark fruit notes of raisin and fig, plus bright orange zest and toasted almond. Honeyed vanilla threads through warm oak, while cinnamon and clove offer a subtle spice, all harmonizing into a polished, inviting nose.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied on the palate, Balvenie paints honeyed Speyside sweetness with ripe orchard fruit and vanilla, enriched by sherry-cask nutty, dried-fruit depth. Cinnamon and clove spice rise over polished oak, leading to a long, warming finish of toffee, citrus zest and a hint of dark chocolate.

Finish

Long, velvety finish with a gentle sherry sweetness drifting over toasted oak, dried fig and orange zest. Subtle spice—cinnamon and clove—lingers with cocoa and honey, fading to a warm, dignified glow that lingers gracefully on the palate.
