Balvenie Vintage Cask #8919 Whisky 33 Year Old · 1971 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with a warm coppery glow, kissed by a hint of mahogany.

Nose

Opulent and aged, the nose unfurls with dark plum and raisin, tempered by honeyed toffee and orange zest. Sherry coaxes depth, revealing dried fig, cocoa, and leather, while cinnamon and clove spice weave through toasted oak. A refined whisper of tobacco lingers, polished and inviting.

Palate

Opulent and velvety on the palate, this Balvenie enfolds dark fruit—prune, fig and date—with toffee, orange zest and a malty sweetness from sherry cask aging. Nutty almond and walnut mingle with honey and warming spice—cinnamon and clove—over a creamy malt core. A lush, long finish unfolds into leather, cocoa and lingering oak.

Finish

Long and elegant, the finish unfolds with rich sherry sweetness, mingling dried fig and plum with velvety toffee. Oak-spice—cinnamon and clove—threads through, while cocoa and orange zest fade into a warm, lingering glow.
