Unveiled in 2014, the 15 Year Old Single Barrel Sherry Cask is a wonderful sight from Balvenie - single malt Scotch whisky fully matured in Sherry casks. These are released in batches of no larger than 800 bottles from a single cask, each one being hand numbered. Although no two casks are the same, and therefore won't produce an identical single malt, the casks are carefully selected by Balvenie's Malt Master and feature a consistent, rich, spiced character, complimented by hints of elegant oak.
Dense Christmas cake with icing, full of sticky, syrupy dried fruits, cherries, finely chopped nuts and grated nutmeg. Flamed orange peel, ginger, a hint of struck match (but only very subtle in the sample we tasted), fresh orange segments and plums develop.
Big old fashioned Sherry matured character, more bread-like fruitcake, malt loaf and nutty Oloroso. Slightly bitter and rum-like, superb.
Spicy fruitcake with cocoa.
Classic Sherry matured whisky, really top stuff.
Should have added that my bottle is from cask 2812..
I'm a big Balvenie fan but this was a big disappointment. One dimensional, boring and bland. Pay £50 extra for the Portwood.
Absolutely stellar dram for the price. Similar to (and better than) Macallan 18, but for a fraction of the price.
Love it
OMG what a delicious drink this makes! Never in my life has coke taste as good as it does with this. A better turn out than any other single malt. I cant wait to try it with the 17yo next time.
