The Balvenie French Oak 16 Year Old offers a bright, elegant interpretation of Speyside single malt. Citrus, delicate floral aromas, and ginger bring a fresh dimension to its oak-matured character.
After maturation in American oak, the whisky is finished in casks that previously held Pineau des Charentes, the French fortified wine that gives this expression its distinctive finishing influence.
Nose:
