Balvenie 19-Year-Old Sherry Cask is a single malt aged for 19 years in sherry-seasoned casks, delivering a deep, richly sherried profile with balance between fruit, spice, and Balvenie’s honeyed malt. Aromas of dried fruits, orange peel, toffee, and almond lead to a full-bodied palate of raisins, fig, orange zest, cocoa, and warm spice, all wrapped in well-integrated oak. The finish is long and warming, making it a refined sipper or pairing with chocolate and aged cheeses.
