Balvenie 16YO French Oak

Balvenie lies in the Convals in Dufftown. The distillery was built by William Grant just below Glenfiddich in 1892, sharing its water source, the Robbie Dhu springs, with its illustrious neighbor. Despite also having the same distiller, Balvenie is hugely different in character. It is one of the few Scotch distilleries to boast in-house floor maltings, utilising locally hand-cut peat. Over the last few years, Balvenie has become the ninth bestselling single malt and demand is growing. 

The Balvenie French Oak whisky is a vibrant single malt finished in casks that previously held wine from the French Charentes vineyards.

Sixteen years of maturation in American Oak casks brings an abundance of vanilla spice and warm honey notes. Finishing in Pineau casks brings energizing grapefruit, geranium, glazed fruit and ginger.
