Balvenie – PortWood 21 Years (750ml)

The flagship single malt from Balvenie’s little group of Port Wood whiskies. This bottling was finished in thirty year old port pipes and is a veritable master class in poise and balance. Elegant on the nose, with notes of white peach and a faint puff of smoke. Surprisingly delicate on the palate; abounding, yet fine. Her sublime mouth feel masterfully carries red fruit, raisins, an edge of white grape and a very floral honey. The finish conveys cocoa, slightly bitter as it tails away gracefully.
