The Balvenie 18 Year Old Pedro Ximénez Cask

This limited edition single malt whisky Balvenie 18 Year Old Pedro Ximénez Cask was created at the Balvenie distillery in Dufftown (Speyside), established in 1892. The whisky matured for 18 years in American oak barrels previously used for bourbon, which impart delicate notes of vanilla, honey, and sweetness. Finally, it received a finishing maturation in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, adding deep, syrupy sweetness with hints of dried fruit.

The aroma greets you with ripe dates, figs, honey, lavender, mandarins, and a hint of clove – the result of a perfect blend of bourbon base and PX finish. The taste is full and velvety. Caramel, sweet molasses, and a touch of spice, with a warming finish of dried fruit, caramel, molasses, and black pepper.

Best enjoyed neat at room temperature. That's when the rich fruity and spicy profile unfolds. A few drops of water can enhance the honey and floral notes. It is ideal as an elegant digestif or a gift for whisky connoisseurs.

Bottles are filled with an alcohol content of 48.7% with a volume of 0.7 l and are delivered in gift tubes.
