Originally released in 2014, the Sherry cask edition continues Balvenie's run of single cask offerings. With batches of no more than 800 bottles from a single cask released at 47.8% ABV (each bottle being hand numbered), it offers access to a flipside of Balvenie's typically feminine style.

Tasting note: [Cask No.16258 tasted] An off note in the nose nods towards sulphur, but mostly blows off after extra time in the glass to reveal attractive fruit mince pie aromas as well as suggestions of dates and roasted nuts in later sniffs. Not exactly squeaky clean sherry, but acceptable, with fruit cake and honeyed tones framed by lively spices and flashes of rubber. Like Glendronach 18, only this is lighter and shorter on the finish. 47.8% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
