The distillery says - "The Balvenie French Oak is a vibrant single malt finished in casks which previously held wine from the French Charentes vineyards. 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 neighbouring Deux-Sèvres and Vendée départements. This is the first of The Balvenie finishes to explore French Oak. Pineau is akin to cognac in terms of production and flavour; allowing us to capitalise on the rise of this flavour profile. A departure away for our core range the ABV will be 47.6% and non-chill filtered appealing to the changing consumer taste profile for single malt."

The distillery says - "Inspired to produce an even fruitier, sweeter Balvenie, Apprentice Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie had the bright idea to import Virgin Oak barrels from Kentucky. After deep toasting them at The Balvenie Cooperage they were filled with Balvenie aged in ex-bourbon barrels. The result is a delectably complex whisky with notes of candied fruit, coconut and delicate vanilla."

The distillery says - "Eager to experiment with The Balvenie profile using what he had learnt from a recent trip to Islay, distillery manager Ian Millar ordered a batch of Speyside peat for the kiln. For a week a year, The Balvenie distills a batch of peated malt, resulting in a whisky rich in honey, vanilla and citrus notes with an extra layer of delicate smokiness.

The distillery say the 'Aberlour 14 Years Old Batch 2 is matured in two casks, American Oak and Sherry Oak casks, which are then paired together to achieve the right balance of sweet blackberry and spice.'
Aberlour 16 is from American Oak and ex-Sherry casks.
WSD's Comment: Initial heady dark chocolate and fruit compote. Rum and raisin. Floral perfumed notes back by toffee. The sherry notes are pronounced in this expression give lots of notes of jam and fruit cake.
The Aberlour A'bunadh is matured in hand picked Spanish Oloroso sherry casks filling them with whisky for the first time. A'bunadh means the original in Gaelic because every bottle is made as it would have been 100 years ago.
Light and smooth, complex smoky taste with a soft note of malt and nuttiness is how the distillery describe this smooth yet challenging whisky.
This 12 year old whisky really benefits from the double maturation. It gives the whisky aspects of both a bourbon and sherry cask matured whisky that make it an all round winner.
