Balvenie 19 Year Old - Revelation of Cask & Character
Balvenie
Tasting Notes
This limited-edition Balvenie 19 Year Old is a remarkable single malt that unveils the art of cask maturation. Aged entirely in European oak oloroso sherry casks, it exudes a seductive nose of spiced blackcurrant chutney, juicy raisins, and zesty orange notes, complemented by hints of manuka honey, cured meat, and a whisper of lavender. On the palate, it dances with elegance, offering vibrant dried fruits, marzipan, black tea, and a peppery kick, intertwined with orange boiled sweets, stewed black fruits, and winter spice. The finish lingers with aromatic spice, honeyed fruit, creamy nuttiness, and luscious figs, paying homage to the skilled coopers who crafted these exceptional casks. A true revelation in every sip, this whisky is a testament to Balvenie's dedication to artisanal craftsmanship.
