16 year old Balvenie single malt Scotch whisky from their Triple Cask range, which was launched for travel retail. The Triple Cask range is matured in first-fill American oak barrels, traditional refill casks and first-fill Oloroso Sherry butts. The 16 year old shows off a lot more vanilla and fruit than the 12 year old Triple Cask - the extra years in the casks also bring out plenty more fragrant, oak-y spices.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Easy to drink and thats about it. Oakey with minimal honts of other flavors and short to medium finish.
An excellent whisky with an explosion of sensation on the palate and yet a very smooth malt to drink. Certainly one that will feature in my whisky stock from now on!!
I'm enjoying the hint of honey and smooth taste, on this night before Christmas.
By far my favorite of all the whisky's I've tried. Can't be beat for the price to taste in my opinion. Very smooth, easy to sip and drink. I actually prefer this to the 21yr Balvenie portwood. I would also recommend the Glenlivet 15 year special cask strength at 43%. A very nice dram as well.
I bought my first bottle of the triple cask 16 this week. I am a fan of the 15 yr single cask but this is sweet and fruity. easy to sip without adding water. great find.
