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 dual maturation imparts rich notes of fruit, toffee, and a delicate spice, culminating in a long, warming finish. The Balvenie 16 Year Old represents a commitment to time-honoured techniques, including the continued, though limited, use of onsite maltings, resulting in a truly exceptional whisky.
