Balvenie’s 18-Year-Old French Pineau Cask release from the Curious Casks series brings a refined twist to classic Speyside character. Long maturation and a finish in Pineau des Charentes casks give the whisky a gentle richness and a touch of vibrant sweetness, all while staying true to Balvenie’s warm, honeyed style. On the nose, expect soft orchard fruits, vanilla, and delicate floral notes. The palate is smooth and expressive, with layers of honey, ripe fruit, and subtle wine-led sweetness, finishing elegant and well-rounded. A whisky for those who enjoy craftsmanship, subtle innovation, and balanced depth.
