    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.

    Not for the thrill, but with class.

    Subtle, complex, an absolute gentleman's scotch. Worth the money, but you need to understand that this was made with class, not for thrill.

    Kevin en Slowack Aug 20, 2020

    Tasting notes correct - gentle and subtle...

    ...but too subtle for me. Its nice - but nothing here to get anywhere near justifying the price

    Master of Malt Customer May 22, 2020

    All time favourite

    I don't know what everyone else is talking about it being bland? But this whiskey is beautiful

    Thomas Moore May 20, 2020

    Y’all suck

    The people saying this scotch is over rated and what not have obviously never been a proper scotch drinker. Do you even know how to drink proper scotch

    Jeremy May 16, 2020

    Bland and overpriced

    It's not a bad whisky but it's just an instantly forgetable one. Tried as part of a sampler and it's not worth the money. There is nothing about this that stands out, nothing memorable. I'm jealous of those that found the port over powering. I bought because of the port but barely got a taste of it. Very underwhelming. Now the Balvenie 14 Year Old Caribbean Cask in the sampler... that was more like it.
