The Balvenie 16 Year Old French Oak Pineau Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

700mL @ 47.6% abv
The Balvenie French Oak is a vibrant single maly finished in casks previously held wine from the French Charentes vineyards. Peneau des Charentes - it is a fortified wine, made from unfermented grape juice, to which a Cognac eau-de-vie is added and then matured. This is the first of The Balvenie finishes to explore French Oak. Pineau is akin to cognac in terms of production and flavour; allowing us to capitalise on the rise of this flavour profile and its premium credentials. TASTING NOTES: An energising zing from tangy lemon rind and grapefruit meet the delicate subtle sweetness of glazed fruits and spice from root ginger. SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve neat or with a couple of drops of water (to bring out the flavours).
