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.
 
A Legacy of Craftsmanship and Innovation
 
One of the original seven stills of Dufftown, The Balvenie has been perfecting its craft since 1892. Known for its spirit of experimentation and curiosity, Balvenie maintains a strong connection with tradition even as it explores innovative distilling and maturation techniques. As one of only seven distilleries in Scotland to still operate a floor maltings on-site, Balvenie exemplifies a commitment to quality and creativity. This hands-on approach to managing raw materials allows for continued innovation while preserving the classic Balvenie style.
