To create The Balvenie Portwood Finish Aged 21 Years Single Malt Scotch Whiskey, a marriage of rare Balvenie is transferred to port casks, or pipes, which have held fine port wines. Here it is regularly sampled by The Balvenie Malt Master to ensure that the right amount of character is imparted by the port casks, enhancing and developing the single malt while preserving its original characteristics.
The Balvenie Portwood 21 Year Old Whiskey has an aroma of ripe fruits, dates, figs, raisins, and almonds. It offers fruity and ripe raisin notes, backed by a nutty dryness on the nose. It has refined with a remarkable character on the palate. It is creamy and silky with fruit, honey, and spice notes, followed by a long, gentle finish. Enjoy!
