Balvenie Portwood 21 Year Old Single Malt
To create The Balvenie PortWood Aged 21 Years, 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 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 Limited to 1 per customer only. Buy The Balvenie Distillery whiskies here.
Glenfiddich Grand Cru 23 Year Old
This beautifully presented Grand Cru from Glenfiddich also holds a beautiful Single Malt. The Grand Cru encapsulates the very spirit and every essence of luxury which mirrors the craftsmanship of Glenfiddich. Created for the non-conformists, it has been uniquely crafted as a surprising delight at every sip for those tearing up the rule book and who want to celebrate big life moments in a new way. This remarkable whisky is rich, already intense in flavour thanks to a long maturation in American and European oak cask. It is then finely finessed with influences from French Cuvée casks for up to 6 months. This is the only Glenfiddich Single Malt to undergo this exceptional finishing. On the nose it gives apple blossom, freshly baked bread and candied lemon. To the palate we get layers of rich vanilla oak, sweet fresh brioche, sandalwood, pear sorbet and white grape. The finish is long, opulent and sweet.
