The Balvenie 15 Year Old Madeira Cask

The Balvenie 15 Year Old Madeira Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a vibrant release from the iconic Dufftown distillery, created under the expertise of Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE. Aged for 15 years in traditional American oak ex-bourbon casks, it is subsequently finished in casks that previously held sweet Madeira fortified wine. Bottled at 43% ABV without chill filtration, this cask-finished Speyside single malt delivers a harmonious fusion of sweet peach, candied orange peel, warm honey, and delicate nutmeg spice.

Food Pairing: Pairs exceptionally well with roasted pork tenderloin with peach glaze, pan-seared duck breast, aged Gouda, pecan pie, or crème brûlée.

Tasting Notes: A rich, fruit-forward Speyside single malt featuring prominent notes of sweet stone fruit, candied citrus, warm honey, and delicate baking spices.

Nose: Fragrant aromas of overflowing blackcurrants, sweet peaches, fresh orange zest, floral honey, and subtle toasted oak.

Palate: Smooth and lush on the palate with flavours of ripe peach, candied orange peel, sweet raisin, vanilla cream, and gentle nutmeg spice.

Finish: Long, warm, and lingering with notes of sweet fruit syrup, honeyed malt, and delicate oak spice.

Serve: Enjoy neat in a Glencairn glass or with a few drops of water to open up its complex stone fruit and spice layers.
