Balvenie 18 Year Old Pedro Ximenez Cask 70cl, 48.7%

Description

Balvenie 18 Year Old Pedro Ximenez Cask 70cl 48.7% is a rich and luxurious Speyside single malt Scotch whisky produced at the renowned Balvenie Distillery in Dufftown, Scotland. This expression showcases the distillery’s expertise in sherry cask maturation, highlighting the deep influence of Pedro Ximenez sherry casks on Balvenie’s classic honeyed spirit.

The whisky is initially matured in traditional American oak ex-bourbon casks, where it develops Balvenie’s signature honey, vanilla, and malt character. It is then finished in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, known for their intensely sweet and rich style of sherry.

The PX cask finishing introduces layers of dark dried fruits, raisins, figs, chocolate, and warming spice, creating a whisky with remarkable depth and richness.

Aged for 18 years and bottled at 48.7% ABV, this expression offers a fuller body and a more intense flavour profile while maintaining Balvenie’s smooth and balanced character.

The result is a complex single malt with flavours of honey, dark raisins, caramel, cocoa, and rich spice.
