Product Description
The Balvenie French Oak whisky is a vibrant single malt finished in casks that previously held wine from the French Charentes vineyards. The Balvenie USA brand ambassador Lorne Cousin Lorne Cousin suggested Honorary Ambassador & Former Malt Master Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE explore these casks after a trip to the region with his family, where he fondly remembers sipping an apéritif.
Sixteen years of maturation in American Oak casks brings an abundance of vanilla spice and warm honey notes.
Finishing in Pineau casks brings energizing grapefruit, geranium, glazed fruit and ginger.
Pineau des Charentes is a fortified wine made from unfermented grape juice, to which a Cognac eau-de-vie is added and then matured. Pineau is also found as a home-made product in the neighboring Deau-Sevres and Vendee departements.
