Balvenie 18 y.o. PX Cask

Special features: The Balvenie 18 Year PX Cask is a Scottish single malt whisky from the renowned Speyside region. It matures for 18 years in American oak casks and then receives a finish in Pedro Ximenéz sherry butts. This special maturation gives it a complex fruitiness and a harmonious sweetness. The bottling is done as an original bottling without chill filtration and is presented in an attractive tube packaging.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The nose reveals hints of raisins and bursting blackcurrants, combined with notes of oak and subtle clove, along with accents of sweet lavender.
• Palate: On the palate, a fruity combination of tart grape skin, mandarin, and fig unfolds. This is followed by oily facets of oak and honey sweetness.
• Finish: The finish is harmonious with a subtle sweetness that lingers long.

Distillery/Bottler: The Balvenie Distillery, founded by William Grant, relies on traditional production methods. The 18-year-old PX Cask initially matures in classic American oak casks before receiving its finish in Pedro Ximenéz sherry butts. This process gives the whisky its characteristic intensity and elegant sweetness. Balvenie values craftsmanship and regional connection in whisky production.
