Balvenie 18 Year Old 2005 French Pineau Casks - A Collection of Curious Casks
This is the classic unpeated Balvenie aged in American oak before finishing in French Pineau casks. Pineau des Charentes is a speciality of the Cognac region, a blend of unfermented grape juice and brandy aged in oak to produce a popular sweet digestif. It works beautifully with The Balvenie’s sweet, fruity profile.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Toasted oak, butterscotch, North African spices and heady ripe red fruit.
Palate
A harmonious commingling of sweetness and spice with honey, brioche and cherries.
Finish
Warming winter spices and caramel.
