Balvenie Single Barrel Sherry Cask #15651 Whisky 15 Year Old
Out of stock
A Balvenie single malt from the Single Barrel series, this 15 year old was bottled in 2020 at 47.8% ABV after long maturation in a sherry cask, with a limited outturn of 800 bottles.
Sherry cask influence brings rich dried fruit, warm spice and deep oak-driven sweetness to Balvenie’s characteristically honeyed, malt-forward style. The result is a full-bodied and layered expression where orchard fruit and gentle vanilla sit alongside the richness and complexity developed through extended sherry oak ageing in a concentrated single barrel release.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery-gold highlights and a mahogany undertone.
Nose
Orchard fruits mingle with creamy vanilla as rich dried fruits like raisin, fig, and prune meet warm spices and deep oak sweetness from sherry cask aging. Honeyed, malt-forward aromas rise with subtle almond and toasted oak hints, delivering a polished bouquet that speaks of the barrel’s influence.
Palate
Lush dried fruits mingle with orange zest and ripe orchard apple beneath a honeyed malt backbone. Nutmeg and cinnamon glisten against deep oak sweetness, while vanilla shines through the full-bodied, waxy texture. Sherry maturity coats the palate with hints of walnut and cocoa, delivering a concentrated, elegant warmth that lingers with orchard fruit brightness.
Finish
Long, honeyed finish with dried fruit and warm spice echoing through toasted oak. Orchard fruit and vanilla linger, carried by sherry depth and a velvety sweetness that gradually fades into spice-dusted warmth.
