The Balvenie 21 Year Old Port Wood is a highly regarded single malt Scotch whisky produced by The Balvenie distillery. It is part of their core range and is known for its exquisite craftsmanship and unique maturation in Port wine casks. This expression begins with Balvenie’s signature 21-year-old whisky, which has already undergone a lengthy aging process in traditional oak casks. It is then transferred to casks that previously held fine Port wine to undergo a second maturation. This additional aging in Port wood casks imparts distinct flavours and characteristics to the whisky, resulting in a truly special release. The Balvenie 21 Year Old Port Wood offers a complex and refined flavour profile. The influence of the Port casks adds layers of rich, fruity sweetness to the whisky, with notes of ripe berries, dried fruits, and a hint of nuttiness. These flavours are beautifully balanced by the smooth and mellow character that comes from the extended aging in oak casks.

Cadenhead’s Fettercairn 17 Year Old Chairman’s Stock Cask Strength (54.8% abv)
$129.99Add to cartFinished in a Granada rum cask since 2019, this bottling from Fettercairn distillery features notes of barbecued bananas, pineapple upside down cake and lemon zest.
Fettercairn is a highland distillery sat by the Cairngorm Mountatins.
Given the equipment and production style, it’s easy to see why a firm, relatively heavy, nutty style whisky is created. Furthermore, between 1995 & 2009, the condensers were made of stainless steel, adding a slightly burnt, pot ale character to the new make. However, a cooling ring at the top of the swan neck, spraying cold water down the still sides, helps reflux and guides the spirit towards a lighter profile.
Nose:
Barbecued bananas, mineral notes, pampas grass, sherbert lemons.Flavour:
Coastal notes, miso, chalk.Finish:
Pineapple upside down cake, gooseberries, lemon zest. -

Royal Salute is an exceptional blend of very rare whiskies matured for a minimum of 21 years at Strathisla Distillery, the oldest working Highland distillery in Scotland.

The second taste delivers a rich blend of spice and hazelnut flavors that fill the mouth intensely, and then a finishing warmth from hints of smoke.
