Balmenach 16 Year Old is a Speyside single malt from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, cask code 48.160, named Ode To The Worm Tub. It was distilled in 2006 and bottled at 55.8% ABV in a 70cl bottle, one of 274 bottles from a single cask.
The whisky spent 13 years in a bourbon hogshead before moving to a first-fill American oak Oloroso sherry hogshead. Balmenach runs its vapour into worm tubs rather than shell and tube condensers.
The nose is heavy and oily, with rapeseed oil, olive oil, hessian, liquorice, dark fruit beers and dried cranberry. The palate brings chopped dates, cinder toffee, aniseed sweets and heather honey cake, with some putty and wax.
