A spectacular new release from Balvenie. This single malt has been maturing for 16 years, first in American oak casks, then transferred in to Pineau casks from the French Charentes vineyards. Pineau des Charentes is a fortified wine, made from unfermented grape juice, to which a Cognac eau-de-vie is added and then matured. This has introduced to the flavour profile; a generous helping of honey glazed fruit and subtle green leafiness.

Balvenie say ‘A departure away for our core range, the ABV will be 47.6% and non-chill filtered, appealing to the changing consumer taste profile for single malt.
