The Balvenie Pedro Ximénez Cask is a complex and richly distinct single malt which has been finished in casks that previously held Pedro Ximénez sherry.
Pedro Ximénez is a white Spanish wine grape variety grown in several Spanish wine regions. The heat from the sun ripens the vines and produces a wine of intense, dessert-like sweetness.
COLOUR: Golden.
NOSE: A medley of flavours from raisins and bursting currants that intertwine with oak and subtle clove whilst concealing a
smooth sweet lavender.
TASTE: A modern classic fruit fusion of tart grape skin, mandarin and fig that flows together with vibrant oak to coat the mouth with a delicate oil and honeyed sweetness.
FINISH: Gentle and lingering.
The Balvenie is dedicated to the five rare crafts that are used to create The Balvenie’s distinctive taste. It is the only distillery that still grows its own barley, uses traditional floor maltings and keeps both coppersmiths and coopers on site –making The Balvenie the most handcrafted of single malts. Each expression has a very individual taste, but is rich, luxuriously mooth and underpinned by the distinctively honeyed character of The Balvenie.
