The Balvenie 16 Year Old French Oak Pineau Cask is a refined single malt finished in French Oak Pineau des Charentes casks. The finish adds fruit-forward sweetness and grape notes to Balvenie’s signature honeyed vanilla, delivering a balanced, nuanced profile with gentle spice and a lingering, elegant finish. Suits sipping neat or with a splash to reveal the citrus, fruit, and oak nuance.
