Collector’s Note

Balmenach 10 Year Old 2016 100 Proof Edition #79 has good collector appeal because Balmenach is not one of the most commonly seen single malt names, with much of its whisky often used in blends. Independent bottlings like this help show the distillery’s single malt character in a stronger and more cask-driven style.

This bottle is especially attractive because it combines a 2016 vintage, 10 years of maturation, 57.1% strength and Oloroso sherry influence. For collectors of Signatory Vintage, Speyside whisky and 100 Proof editions, it is a strong and characterful addition.
