King of Casks 30 Years Old Blended Malt

This exceptional and rare “tea-spooned” malt pays homage to the founding fathers of the “Double Wood”. Re-racking whisky in a second style of cask was first developed at the Balvenie in the 80s. Originally filled into ex-bourbon hogsheads, the liquid was then transferred into compact 64-litre Pedro Ximénez Sherry octaves for the final 18 months, creating depth and adding sweetness to the blended malt.
Nose Honied malt, melon, candied citrus.
Palate Lemon cake, peach, fresh leather.
Finish Floral, sweet grass, mellow spice.
