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.

This is a very good 21 year old scotch with a great woody flavor, very smooth as you expect after 21 years. However, the prominent "PortsWood" on the label is pure marketing. If you read carefully, the scotch only spent 6 months in a port cask and very little port flavor is present. If the port tones are what you are after, this scotch is not worth the premium price
Interesting how many people really enjoyed this whisky, compared with those who didn’t. Interesting how many of those that didn’t, admit it is not to their palate, compared with those who think it is a poor whisky. I have tasted more than 150 whiskeys in the range between £30 and £200 per bottle and this whisky is definitely in my preferred top 5, as it suits my palate.
Excellent in every way. Smooth with a fine puro.
Purposely marked it down because it is no way near worth the money. Compared to whiskies 1/3 of the price, sure it's good, but compared to whiskies half its price then it starts to slip. Why in the world are they chill filtering it and bottling it at 40%? There are travel retail bottlings that are bottled at about 47-48% (i.e. not chill filtered), and I really hope they are better than this.
Amazing love it
