The Balvenie 16 Year Old French Oak 700ml

The Balvenie 16 Year Old French Oak is a unique and vibrant single malt Scotch whisky that marries the traditional craftsmanship of The Balvenie with the refined flavors of French wine casks. This expression is notably finished in casks that previously held wine from the French Charentes vineyards, specifically Pineau des Charentes - a fortified wine known for its rich and nuanced profile. The use of these distinctive casks imparts an exceptional depth and complexity to the whisky.

Pineau des Charentes is crafted from unfermented grape juice with the addition of Cognac eau-de-vie, a process that resonates with the meticulous production methods of The Balvenie. Inspired by the Balvenie USA brand ambassador Lorne Cousin's experiences in France, Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE embarked on exploring these unique casks, a first for The Balvenie in their exploration of French Oak finishes. The resulting whisky intertwines the smooth, honeyed character of The Balvenie with the subtle, rich flavors akin to cognac, including notes of fruit, oak, and a gentle warmth. The Balvenie 16 Year Old French Oak stands as a testament to innovation and tradition, appealing to connoisseurs seeking a Scotch whisky with an elegant and sophisticated twist.
