The Balvenie The Creation of a Classic
The Balvenie The Creation of a Classic
A sweet and syrupy expression of The Balvenie with a touch of vanilla oak and ginger spiciness, finished in sherry casks.
FLAVOUR PROFILE
Through the gently falling snow to Warehouse 41, where among casks and casks of other liquids, sits a new Classic: aged in American Oak, and then finished, once again, in sherry casks.
THE TASTING NOTES
-
Nose
Aromatic and lively, aromas of vanilla and spice evocative of dried clove and chai are layered on a base of earthly, malty undertones reminiscent of Balvenie’s own barley loft.
-
Taste
A perfect complement of light oatmeal syrupiness and brittle toffee are followed by delicate hints of spice and a rich drying sensation from European oak.
-
Finish
Lingering, lasting dry oak.
