Balvenie 16 Year Old French Oak Pineau Cask Finish

Crafted at the heart of Speyside in Dufftown, The Balvenie 16 Year Old showcases a uniquely sweet and honeyed spirit, subtly touched by a whisper of peat. This single malt begins its journey maturing for sixteen years in traditional American Oak, before a finishing period in French Pineau des Charentes casks—a fortified wine from the Cognac region. This innovative process imparts rich notes of fruit and spice, complementing the whisky’s inherent smoothness. The result is a complex and rewarding dram, revealing layers of flavour with every sip, and a testament to The Balvenie’s pioneering spirit in maturation techniques.
