Description

The Balvenie PortWood 21 Year Old single malt whisky is a result of a unique process where a blend of rare Balvenie whiskies is transferred to port casks, often referred to as pipes, that have previously cradled fine port wines.

In this stage, The Balvenie Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE regularly samples the whisky to ensure just the right amount of character is infused by the port casks. This process enhances and matures the single malt while preserving its original characteristics.

Regarded by many as David's magnum opus, this whisky stands as one of his most cherished achievements, having garnered numerous prestigious industry awards since its debut in 1996.

Tasting Note by Balvenie:
Nose: A perfume of fruity and ripe raisin notes, backed by a nutty dryness.
Palate: Refined with remarkable character, it is creamy and silky with fruit, honey and spice notes.
Finish: Long, gentle, nutty.

    Balvenie Distillery: Masterful Craftsmanship and Time-Honored Tradition

    Balvenie Distillery, nestled in the picturesque Speyside region of Scotland, is renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and commitment to time-honored tradition in the production of single malt Scotch whisky. With a history dating back to 1892, Balvenie is one of the few distilleries in Scotland that still grows its own barley, malts its own grain, and employs traditional floor malting techniques. This meticulous attention to detail and hands-on approach is evident in the distillery's whiskies, which are known for their complexity, depth of flavor, and exceptional quality. Balvenie whiskies exhibit a rich array of characteristics, from honeyed sweetness and fruit notes to delicate spices and hints of oak, each expression reflecting the artistry and expertise passed down through generations.

    The Unique Artistry of Balvenie Distillery

    Balvenie Distillery stands out for its unwavering commitment to preserving traditional whisky-making methods and showcasing the artistry of its craftsmen. What makes Balvenie truly unique is its dedication to the Five Rare Crafts, which include growing barley, traditional floor malting, copper pot distillation, cooperage (barrel-making), and maturation in its onsite warehouses. The distillery's cooperage, where skilled coopers handcraft and repair barrels, is a rare sight in the industry and allows for precise control over the maturation process. Balvenie's Malt Master carefully selects and marries casks to create unique expressions that exemplify the distillery's character. This hands-on approach, combined with an emphasis on traditional methods and craftsmanship, results in whiskies that possess remarkable depth, character, and a true sense of heritage. Balvenie Distillery's dedication to preserving the past while creating whiskies of unparalleled quality makes it a revered name among whisky enthusiasts worldwide.
