Tasting Notes

Balvenie 14 Year Old 2009 - A Collection of Curious Casks is a truly unique and intriguing single malt Scotch whisky. Crafted using unpeated barley, it has acquired a subtle smoky character from the annual 'peat week' tradition at the distillery. Aged for 14 years in first-fill bourbon casks, this whisky showcases a delightful harmony of flavors. On the nose, it delights with sweet notes of toffee, citrus, vanilla, and honey, complemented by hints of woodsmoke. The palate is a delightful interplay of orange peel, warm baking spices, and toasty malt, with a waft of cigar adding depth. The finish is long, sweet, and spicy, leaving a lasting impression. This exceptional whisky is a testament to Balvenie's rich history and commitment to exploring curious cask combinations, making it a true gem for whisky enthusiasts seeking a one-of-a-kind experience.
