The Balvenie Portwood 21 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whiskey

To create the balvenie portwood aged 21 years a marriage of rare balvenie is transferred to port casks or pipes which have held fine port wines. Here it is sampled regularly by the balvenie malt master to ensure that just the right amount of character is imparted by the port casks enhancing and developing the single malt whilst preserving its original characteristics. In duty-free the balvenie portwood aged 21 years is nonchill-filtered and bottled at a higher strength of 86 proof. Tasting notes: nose: a perfume of fruity and ripe raisin notes backed by a nutty dryness. Palate: refined with remarkable character it is creamy and silky with fruit honey and spice notes. Finish: long gentle nutty.
