The Balvenie 16 Year Old
The Balvenie French Oak 16 Year Old is a vibrant Single Malt Scotch Whisky finished in casks that previously held wine from the French Charentes vineyards. Maturation in American oak casks brings an abundance of vanilla spice and warm honey notes. After 16 years it is finished in Pineau casks to bring energizing grapefruit, geranium, glazed fruit and ginger.

Nose: The nose offers a combination of light floral notes, citrus, and honey, with hints of fresh meadow grass and apple skin.
Palate: An energizing zing from tangy lemon rind and grapefruit meet the delicate subtle sweetness of glazed fruits and spice from root ginger.
Finish: The finish is refreshing, with citrus and honey notes, sometimes with a touch of honeydew melon.

Glengoyne 12 Year Old
Lemon zest, toffee apples- and a scent of coconut. Hand-selected sherry casks help create this paradise of flavours and rich, golden colour. It's the taste of Scotland's slowest distillation, and our insistence on barley dried by air- never peat. Add a limited edition puzzle to your order for £10. Our puzzle features a special painting of the Distillery by celebrated Scottish artist John Lowrie Morrison (Jolomo).
