The Balvenie Single Malt Scotch Whisky Aged 16 Years French Oak
Description: | Finished in Pineau Casks Nose Intense honey, orange marmalade, fresh flowers, winey sweetness, vanilla, hint of nutmeg, green grape skins, light perfume. I can tell that there's wine cask influence here but wouldn't be able to tell you the type on taste alone. With time and water, notes of apple danish, malt, and demarara present themselves. Taste Sharp spice at first, ginger, shortbread, icewine, key lime, Fun Dip stick, a bit of mint, some oak-driven vanilla, lemon. Water brings out a much deeper burnt sugar sweetness along with notes of grapes, cooked oats, chocolate orange, and just a bit of oak. Finish Marzipan, vanilla icing, more chocolate carries over from the palate, a bit of earthiness, more ginger (crystalized this time), grapefruit, honey, green melon. Not a huge change with water. Medium-long length and those classic, sweet Balvenie notes are the last ones to fade. |
