Balvenie 15 years old Madeira Cask - 70cl

Back in the 15th Century, casks of wine would return sweet and mature from being aboard ships that had travelled around the New World. As the tropical climare changed en route, the casks would continually heat and cool, infusing their wood with deep and lively flavours from the wine.
Malt Master DAVID C. STEWART MBE was curious about what rich sweetness these casks could impart to The Balvenie. Using casks which once held Madeira wine, he would go on to expertly craft a unqiue and distinct expression through the process of cask finishing. Maturing for 15 years in traditional American Oak whisky barrels to develop notes of warm honey and vanilla, before a finishing period in nich MADEIRA CASKS brings notes of fresh peaches, orange zest and hazelnut.
