Balvenie 26-Year-Old Dark Barley is a refined, aged single malt from The Balvenie. At 26 years, it blends the distillery’s signature honeyed fruit with a pronounced roasted barley character, yielding a rich, multi-layered profile. Aromas of roasted barley, toffee, dried fruit, and cocoa lead to a palate of toffee, fig, orange peel, and spice, with a silky mouthfeel and a long, warming finish. Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open the aromatics; ideal for contemplative moments or special occasions.
