Balmenach 2012 .5% PX Sherry Octave Passion for Whisky.com 49.5% 700ml information

The Balmenach 2012 whisky bottle, with its 49.5% ABV, is matured in a PX Sherry Octave cask, which is evident in its distinct sherry aroma. The scent is a delightful blend of cafe latte, mokkaboontjes (a type of bean), and furniture polish, followed by the woody notes of forest floor elements such as mushrooms, moss, and leaves. A hint of a smoldering cigar completes the overall sensory experience.

Tasting the whisky reveals a rich, luxurious flavor profile. The PX sweetness is prominent, complemented by the nuttiness of mokkaboontjes and a cafe frappe-like texture. A touch of Grand Marnier adds complexity, while strong black tea with sugar, dark vanilla fudge, and cigar leaf notes create a harmonious balance.

This whisky is a versatile companion, perfect for a relaxing evening under the veranda with a fine cigar. For an ideal pairing, Rein Jan van de sigarenhandel de Oude Leeuw recommends the Cohiba Behike. Despite its relatively low alcohol content for a cask-strength whisky, the finish is remarkably long-lasting, with the tea and mokkaboontjes flavors lingering pleasantly on the palate.

This whisky is a luxurious, crowd-pleasing delight, offering a delightful sensory journey for whisky enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
