- Description
- Balmenach's 2011 release finished in virgin oak and bottled at cask strength showcases how new wood influences a distillery's earthy foundation. Honey, caramel, and chamomile emerge on the nose, transitioning to sweet vanilla custard, pepper, and candied peanuts across a full palate. A bold expression for those unafraid of oak's prominent role.
