Description

The Balvenie 16 Year Old sits on our shelf for buyers who want substance in the glass. Its home is Speyside. Beyond that, we ship it expertly packed across the United States and Canada. In fact, the label carries a 16 year age statement.

Inside The Balvenie 16 Year Old

Bourbon barrels usually push the malt toward vanilla and honey. As a result, cask maturation drives much of what you find in the glass. Time in oak smooths the edges without flattening the character. Indeed, expect the depth that long aging brings to malt whisky. In turn, The Balvenie 16 Year Old gives you plenty to think about in the glass.

What to Pair It With

Oysters pair sharply with coastal styles. In short, dark chocolate suits a richer, sherry influenced pour. Collectors build vertical flights from a single distillery. At the same time, shortbread and dried fruit keep the pairing simple. Corporate gifting leans heavily on respected single malts. However, pair it with Johnnie Walker Platinum Label 18 Year for a side by side tasting.

The Story Behind Scotch Whisky

Scottish law protects both the name and the method. Finally, cask selection separates one release from the next. Scotland divides its whisky into recognised producing regions. Likewise, single malt Scotch comes from malted barley at one distillery. Older stock grows harder to source with every passing year. Therefore, browse the wider Scotch whisky collection to compare styles.

Serving The Balvenie 16 Year Old

Treat The Balvenie 16 Year Old well and it repays the effort. Serve it neat at room temperature to start. Because of that, a few drops of water often lift the aroma. Skip the ice if you want the full aromatic picture. Overall, store the bottle upright and out of sunlight. Even so, Johnnie Walker Red Label 1 75L makes a natural next bottle.
