The Balvenie is a range of single malt whiskies crafted by Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE. Each expression is unique, but all are rich, luxuriously smooth and underpinned by a distinctive honeyed character.
The Balvenie 21 Year Old PortWood is known for its elegant marriage of flavors and aromas, influenced by the port casks which impart additional depth and a subtle sweetness. It's often described as a grown-up whisky that showcases some age while maintaining a soft and refined character.
Nose:
This whisky features deep and rich aromas, including red grapes, honey, and layers of oak. It's complemented by slight nuttiness and a hint of clove, with subtler notes of mango and orange peel in the background.
Palate:
The palate offers flavors of prunes, citrus, red berries, and orange, blended with floral notes, oaky vanilla, and baked apples. It also carries subtle wine notes, contributing to its sophisticated profile.
Finish:
The finish is characterized by stewed fruits, fresh mint, nutmeg, and milk chocolate, with lingering wine notes and Balvenie's signature honey sweetness. This finish is noted for its balance, allowing the sweetness and fruit to shine through without being dominated by woodiness.
