Their First Finish Exploring French Oak

Sixteen years of maturation in traditional American oak casks develops an abundance of sweet vanilla, soft oak spice, and signature Balvenie honeyed warmth, forming a rich and balanced foundation. Finishing in Pineau des Charentes casks adds vibrant layers of grapefruit zest, floral geranium, glazed orchard fruits, and gentle ginger spice, creating a refined and lively complexity.

Tasting notes

Nose: Fresh citrus and green apple, balanced with honey, vanilla, and light floral notes.

Palate: Smooth and well-rounded with flavors of sweet oak, ripe fruits, vanilla cream, warming spices, and a bright citrus lift from the French oak influence.

Finish: Long, elegant, and softly spiced, with lingering notes of honey, oak, and gentle citrus freshness.
