- Description
- Balmenach's 2015 vintage finished in first-fill palo cortado sherry and released by Dràm Mòr as a single cask delivers rich, chocolatey malt with ripe citrus and drying spice from a refined cask influence. The palo cortado's lighter touch compared to oloroso or PX allows the distillery's fruitiness to remain prominent while adding layers of complexity and savouriness. A balanced sherry finish for those seeking depth without overwhelming sweetness.
