Balvenie Traditional Oak Single Barrel #3828 Whisky 21 Year Old · 1999 Vintage
Out of stock
This Single Malt has been matured exclusively in a refill American oak cask for at least twenty one years. The Malt Master has carefully sampled the aged Whisky, cask by cask. They then select only Single Malt characterised by subtle spices and a rich honeyed sweetness to be bottled as The Balvenie Single Barrel Traditional Oak.
Whilst no two casks will ever produce an identical Single Malt, because of the careful sampling and selection of The Malt Master, The Balvenie Single Barrel Traditional Oak has a consistent character that is deep and delicate. Mouth coating creamy rich toffee, honey and stewed fruit notes reveal velvety muscovado sugar and light orange peel. The finish is rich and lingering.
