The Balvenie French Oak 16 year 750ml

The Balvenie French Oak 16 Year is a Speyside single malt finished in French oak casks that previously held Pineau des Charentes, the fortified grape aperitif of the Cognac region. Part of the distillery's Cask Finishes range, it is bottled at 47.6% ABV and runs brighter and more fruit-driven than Balvenie's sherried expressions, with honey, citrus, and orchard fruit over gentle oak spice.

What reviewers say

"A rich Balvenie that gets overtaken on the palate by the French oak ever so slightly" but remains "a more than pleasant malt."
Words of Whisky

"Light, crisp, and very tasty in an uncommon way."
