Balmenach 9 Year Old 2016 - 100 Proof Edition #57 (Signatory)
A rare solo outing from Balmenach, matured for nine years in first-fill oloroso sherry butts and bottled without chill-filtration or added colour. At 100 Proof (57.1%), this is full-bodied Speyside muscle in a sherry-soaked gym vest.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Treacle tart, warm raisins, polished wood, and cocoa dust. Some leathery depth and dried cranberries lift it beyond its years.
Palate
Rum-soaked sultanas, molasses, dark chocolate, and toasted hazelnuts. A thread of peppery heat runs through.
Finish
Clove, bitter orange, and the comforting grip of seasoned oak.
