Description

Balvenie 18 Year Old A Collection Of Curious Casks French Pineau Cask is a testament to the distillery's spirit of experimentation and craftsmanship, featured in the captivating Curious Casks series. This expression traces its origins back to an innovative experiment by Balvenie's fifth Master Blender, David Stewart, who initially aged the whisky in French Pineau des Charentes sweet wine casks. After eight years, the whisky was revisited by the current Master Blender, Kelsey McKenna, who discovered the whisky had transformed into something extraordinary. This 18-year-old expression is a perfect example of how Balvenie's expertise in cask maturation can lead to unexpected and beautiful results, making it a must-try for whisky connoisseurs.

This is a very smooth malt that feels special but is still easy to drink. The fruit and honey flavors stand out, making it a friendly choice for someone looking to try an older bottle without it being too harsh or complicated.
