- Description
- Balmenach's 27 years in refill hogshead wood showcases the under-the-radar Speyside distillery with depth and restraint, bottled non-chill-filtered by Douglas Laing's Old Malt Cask range. The extended maturation coaxes out orchard fruit, heather honey, and gentle spice without heavy oak dominance.
