- Description
- Balmenach's 1989 vintage, aged 32 years in oak before Belgian bottler The Nectar released it in 2021, showcases the distillery's orchard-fruit character at 44.6% ABV. The nose opens with apple, pear, honey and beeswax, while the palate layers in peach, waxy stone fruit, oak spice and pepper. The finish is long and honeyed with subtle oak tannins. This aged Speyside suits contemplative drinking or the collector seeking mature Balmenach expressions.
