The Balvenie 19 Year Old "A Revelation of Cask and Character" is a single malt Scotch whisky that stands as a proud member of the distillery's Stories range. This collection celebrates the unsung heroes of the whisky world, and this particular limited edition beautifully shines a spotlight on the craft of coopering and the vital role of the cooperage in the whisky maturation process. Exclusively matured for 19 years in European oak Oloroso sherry casks, this expression is a heartfelt tribute to the distillery's on-site cooperage and the skilled artisans who meticulously maintain the casks. On the nose, this whisky offers captivating aromas of currants, cherries, raisins, orange, and vanilla. These rich scents create an inviting prelude to the sumptuous flavors that follow. The palate is a delightful journey through notes of currants, cherries, figs, cacao, and toasted pecan, creating a harmonious balance that is both luxurious and complex. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression with hints of spice, oak, and dried fruit. Bottled at 47.5% ABV, this unfiltered and likely uncolored dram presents a luxurious journey through flavor, tradition, and the art of whisky making.
