The Balvenie French Oak is a vibrant single malt finished in casks previously held wine from the French Charentes vineyards.
This is the first of The Balvenie finishes to explore French Oak. Pineau is akin to cognac in terms of production and flavour, allowing us to capitalise on the rise of this flavour profile and its premium credentials.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Beautifully balanced light floral notes from lotus and geranium flowers dance between hints of fresh meadow grass and pealed apple skin.
TASTE
An energising zing from tangy lemon rind and grapefruit meet the delicate subtle sweetness of glazed fruits and spice from root ginger.
FINISH
Refreshingly concise.
