Balvenie 21 Year Old PortWood Non Chill Filtered Release 70cl, 47.6%

Description

Balvenie 21 Year Old PortWood Non Chill Filtered Release 70cl 47.6% is a rich and refined Speyside single malt Scotch whisky produced at the renowned Balvenie Distillery in Dufftown, Scotland. This special release highlights the distillery’s expertise in cask finishing while presenting the whisky in a more natural style.

The whisky is first matured in traditional American oak ex-bourbon casks, where it develops Balvenie’s signature honeyed sweetness and soft vanilla character. It is then finished in port wine casks, which introduce layers of red fruit richness, sweetness, and gentle spice.

This expression is bottled non chill-filtered and at a higher strength of 47.6% ABV, allowing more of the whisky’s natural oils and flavour compounds to remain. This results in a fuller body, richer texture, and more intense flavour profile.

After 21 years of maturation, the whisky achieves remarkable depth and balance. The port cask finishing enhances the spirit with flavours of red berries, dried fruits, caramel, and warm oak spice, while maintaining the elegant Speyside character for which Balvenie is known.

The result is a sophisticated single malt with flavours of honey, red fruits, vanilla, caramel, and soft spice.
