Balvenie still grow their own barley and keep faith with a traditional malting floor, the last of its kind in the Scottish Highlands. 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. A perfume of fruity and ripe raisin notes, backed by a nutty dryness. Refined on the palate with remarkable character, it is creamy and silky with fruit, honey and spice notes.
