A fascinating release from Speyside's superb Balvenie Distillery. This expression was initially aged in American oak casks, before being transferred over to casks that previously held Pineau from France. This has introduced a generous helping of honey-glazed fruit and a subtle leafy hint to this 16 year old single malt's flavour profile.
A modern, easy drinking rose made from a blend of Regent, (60%), Dornfelder, (35%), Rondo (5%).
Spangly pink grapefruit in the glass, red fruit nose, tasting of mandarin, strawberries, pomegranate, bright acidity, a characterful English rose.
