    Balvenie 21 Year Old PortWood Finish

    Here we have the flagship single malt from Balvenie’s celebrated PortWood range. The 21 Year Old is a marriage of rare Balvenie whiskies, carefully finished in 30-year-old port pipes for added depth and finesse. First released in 1996, it remains a standout example of balance and refinement – offering soft fruit, warming spice and a long, elegant finish. A classic Speyside dram with real pedigree.

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Elegant. White peach, honey, sultanta, macadamia, subtle touches of balsamic and cola cubes.

    Palate

    A gentle, subtle palate offering up a mix of cranberries and cooked raspberries, a little white grape juice and barley.

    Finish

    Cocoa, slightly bitter as it tails away gracefully.

    If port wood is your thing, this is just wonderful.

    Simply exceptional......

    You have to try this one.

    I tried this in The Distillery at Derby. Have to admit one of the smoothest malts I’ve ever tried.

    First Class!

    I bought this without ever drinking whisky before. It was recommended by my wife's uncle. Well........ to my absolute delight, I loved it. It was nice on the palet and didn't blow my head off. One sip and the flavours keep on coming for a good while after. Looks like this whisky is now my regular whisky.

    Lovely delicate easy drinking with a lovely mouthfeel

    Although light and delicate in flavour i personally loved it... Smooth and creamy feel with a port wine fruitiness. I believe this could turn anyone into a whisky drinker! Brilliant beginners whisky just not at beginners price!

    Does not live up to the hype

    Debated trying this for a good while. I have a very varied collection and enjoy various styles of whisky from all price ranges . Finally gave in based on the reviews from others and I'm extremely disappointed. Given it a few tries and doesn't rate anywhere in my list of go to drams. I'd be impressed at 1/3 of the price, really overpriced and not worth it. Bland sums it up for me
