- Description
- Balvenie's 15-year-old finished in Madeira casks absorbs the wine's influence to showcase stewed raisins, figs, dried fruit, and honeyed sweetness alongside the distillery's characteristic creamy vanilla and subtle oak spice. The Madeira finish softens the malt's typical character into a more dessert-like profile.
