Sophisticated Maturation Process
Introducing the Balvenie 21-Year-Old PortWood, a standout expression from the acclaimed Cask Finishes series, showcasing Balvenie's mastery of cask influence. This exquisite single malt is initially matured in traditional oak casks before undergoing a second maturation in casks that previously held sweet Port wines. This unique process adds an extraordinary depth and complexity to Balvenie's inherently soft, honeyed character.
Rich Flavor Profile
The influence of the Port casks infuses this 21-year-old whisky with a rich tapestry of flavors, featuring layers of sticky dried fruits, toasted nuts, and sweet spices. Each sip offers a luxurious coating of the palate, followed by a lingering finish that gently persists, inviting contemplation and savouring.

One of the original seven stills of Dufftown, The Balvenie has been perfecting its craft since 1892.

This hands-on approach to managing raw materials allows for continued innovation while preserving the classic Balvenie style.
