Product description

Product description
American oak casks are used to mature the 16-year-old Balvenie French Oak. The Single Malt is then finished for several months in barrels in which wine from the French Charentes vineyards was previously stored. Pineau des Charentes is a fortified liqueur wine. This is made from unfermented grape juice and married with Cognac eau-de-vie, which passes on fruity notes with a gentle ginger spice to the whisky when it is matured in these casks.

    Abgang: Oak Sweet

    Kommentar: PLV nicht optimal und etwas flach zum Ende - definitiv kein typischer Balvenie - aber durchaus ein besonderes Aroma, insbesondere in der Kombination mit Citrus, Süße und Eiche
