Product Description

Indulge in the refined elegance of Balvenie 16 Year Old French Oak Pineau Cask, a sophisticated single malt Scotch whisky that beautifully marries tradition with innovation. Aged for 16 years in a combination of traditional oak casks and French oak casks that previously held Pineau des Charentes (a sweet French wine), this limited-edition expression offers a unique and complex flavour profile. The result is a rich, full-bodied whisky with layers of dried fruits, honeyed sweetness, and a subtle spiciness from the French oak, creating a beautifully balanced and unforgettable dram.

Balvenie, one of the last distilleries in Scotland to still malt its own barley, distil, and mature on-site, has crafted this expression to offer whisky connoisseurs a taste of their craftsmanship, heritage, and innovation. A true testament to their expertise, the Balvenie 16 Year Old French Oak Pineau Cask stands as a distinguished and refined choice for whisky lovers.
