Balvenie 21 Years Old Port Wood Casks 70cl
$400.00
Description
The Balvenie 21 Years Old Port Wood is a single malt Scotch whisky finished in
Port wine casks, resulting in a refined, complex flavor profile with notes of creamy honey, spiced dried fruits, and a silky texture. It features a fruity, nutty aroma with hints of raisin, followed by a long, gentle, and nutty finish that incorporates notes of cocoa, according to The Champagne Company. This whisky is a marriage of rare Balvenie, which is transferred to Port casks after its initial maturation to develop its distinct character.Â
