Balvenie 16 year old French Oak Pineau Cask Finished, 47.6%

Price: 175 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.
