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.
Elegant. White peach, honey, sultanta, macadamia, subtle touches of balsamic and cola cubes.
A gentle, subtle palate offering up a mix of cranberries and cooked raspberries, a little white grape juice and barley.
Cocoa, slightly bitter as it tails away gracefully.

The Port finish is relatively light, though it does compliment this already soft spirit. Quite a unique expression, everything else port finished I’ve had has been much heavier influenced.
140 at 40%? I love Balvenie, but I struggle to see how you've got your 12 year single cask above 47% yet this is almost thrice the price and is the base 40%, nothing from Balvenie should be under 43%, and you should lose that 12 Triple cask because the oak kills it.
Wasn't sure about this since it's quite different to my normal tastes, but I am so, so glad I did. It's simply delicious - I am positive there will be more to it than I could get out of a 3cl sampler, and the only thing stopping me from ordering a bottle immediately is the need to finish one of my current others.
Quite simply stunnng - I could drink a gallon of this stuff. The finish is phenomenal, lingers long on the tastebuds and goes down oh so easy - biggest problem for me is trying to keep such a special whisky for special occasions.
fantastic... I cant understand "bland", "forgettable", "terrible"... you guys obviously don't know your Single Malt Scotch. This is a masterpiece!
