Balvenie French Oak 16 Yr Single Malt Scotch (750ml)

Single malt Scotch whisky from Speyside, made entirely at The Balvenie's own distillery in Dufftown, Scotland. This 16-year expression takes the distillery's signature house style, creamy, orchard-fruit-forward malt whisky, and finishes it in French oak casks, which layer in subtle spice and dried fruit complexity that the spirit wouldn't develop in bourbon cask alone.

Expect honeyed grain, ripe apple, and vanilla on the nose, with a palate that moves from soft toffee into gentle oak spice and a long, warming finish. The French oak adds structure without overpowering the underlying sweetness that defines Balvenie's character. This is whisky built for slow sipping, either neat or with a touch of water to open it up further.
