The distillery first started producing whisky in 1983 and is now the only distillery in Scotland that still grows its own barley, uses traditional floor maltings, and keeps both a coppersmith and a team of coopers on site. The Balvenie French Oak 16 Year Old is their first expression with a French oak finish. The idea came about when The Balvenie USA brand ambassador Lorne Cousin suggested exploring such casks after a family trip. This vibrant single malt is finished in casks that used to hold Pineau des Charentes ― a fortified wine from the Charentes vineyards that is made from unfermented grape juice and matured with the addition of Cognac eau-de-vie. The resulting 95.2-proof single malt is light and fruity with floral, apple, citrus, spice, and ginger notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 95.2 (47.6% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose is fragrant and floral with lotus and germanium flowers as well as a touch of apple skin.
