Tasting Notes and Characteristics:Sipping Balvenie 16 Year Old French Oak Pineau Cask Finish is a luxurious experience, with vibrant notes of candied fruit, honeyed vanilla, and gentle spice unfolding on the palate. This single malt Scotch whisky hails from Scotland and is matured in traditional oak casks before being finished in casks that previously held Pineau des Charentes, lending it a unique layer of sweetness and complexity. Bottled at 47.6% ABV, its rich character makes it an excellent companion to dishes like roasted duck or a wedge of Comté cheese, where the whisky’s fruity depth beautifully complements savory flavors during an indulgent meal or special gathering.Producer Information: William Grant & SonsWilliam Grant & Sons is a family-owned Scottish distiller rooted in the Speyside region, where they have upheld a tradition of meticulous craftsmanship since their founding in 1887.
