Balvenie 16 year old French Oak Pineau Cask Finished, 47.6%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2024 ● Reviewer: David Fleming ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Matured for 16 years before being finished for several months in wine casks from France’s Pineau des Charentes region. Fragrant citrus and vanilla on the nose. A complex, creamy, and smooth mouthfeel of brown sugar, chocolate, and golden raisins, all cloaked in vanilla and sprinkled with savory spice. A vanilla-tinged finish with great length.
