A 27-year-old Speyside single malt from The Balvenie, bottled at 48% in a 750ml bottle. The whisky spent its first 20 years in American oak before moving into ex-Caroni rum casks from Trinidad for a further seven years, a long second maturation rather than a brief finish. On the nose it shows muscovado sugar and manuka honey, with green banana and gentle spice. The palate is smooth and vanilla-rich, deepening into treacle toffee, aged leather and oak. The finish is long and sweet, with an oily texture, toffee, oak and a trace of molasses.

About Glenbotal

The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturally: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
