Description

The Balvenie 16 Year Old French Oak is a vibrant single malt Scotch whisky from Speyside, Scotland. It is initially matured for 16 years in American oak casks, then finished in French oak casks that previously held Pineau des Charentes, a fortified wine. This expression, a permanent addition to The Balvenie's Cask Finishes range, was released in 2022 and is bottled at 47.6% ABV. It is non-chill filtered and showcases a unique flavor profile with notes of fruit, honey, and spice.
