Product details
The Balvenie 18 Year French Oak Pineau Casks Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a captivating expression that embodies the art of patience and experimentation. With intriguing layers of spice and rich sweetness, it unfolds on the palate with creamy vanilla and honey, before revealing gentle oaky tannins. This whisky delivers a beautifully balanced complexity, offering both depth and refinement that will delight whisky enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.
These French Oak Pineau casks hold a unique place in The Balvenie’s history. Initially part of a bold experiment by renowned malt master David C. Stewart, they did not immediately meet his high standards. However, after being left to mature for an additional eight years under the careful oversight of Kelsey McKechnie, these casks unveiled a remarkable transformation. The result is a whisky that highlights the profound influence of time, while honoring David’s pioneering spirit and The Balvenie’s dedication to crafting exceptional single malts.
