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.

I like Balvenie whisky. Some a little more than others. The Tripple Cast is one of the best. A big shame I can't replace the bottle.
Normally i have to settle for the 12 year old double wood sold in the high street supermarkets. I have had the 17 year old double wood which was very nice but hard to get hold of. This was was given as a birthday present. Now i got the 16 year old triple wood from Gatwick airport duty free. This suits my tastes extremely well, just wish it was on the high street instead and more readily available than an airport duty free.
Bought in Aruba , amazing. Sorry it isn't sold anywhere but duty free
Best single malt scotch I've ever had
Balvenie is one of my favorite distilleries. Their regular 12 year double wood is better than this. It’s drinkable but I certainly wouldn’t blow a duty free purchase on it. Btw I just bought the highest end macallan fury free only macallan, and the 18 is 10 times better. I’ve had about 6 duty free only bottlings and all have disappointed nted. I’m now convinced that duty free is simply a way for them to hock inferior juice. Unless someone can tell me otherwise!
