Description

The Balvenie Portwood 21-Year-Old Single Malt Whisky is non-chill-filtered and bottled at a higher strength of 47.6 percent abv. To create this whisky, a marriage of rare Balvenie is transferred to port casks or pipes, which have held fine port wines. Here it is sampled regularly by The Balvenie Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE to ensure that just the right amount of character is imparted by the port casks, enhancing and developing the single malt whilst preserving its original characteristics. Nose: A perfume of fruity and ripe raisin notes, backed by a nutty dryness. Taste: Refined with remarkable character, it is creamy and silky with fruit, honey and spice notes. Finish: Long, gentle, nutty.
