Balvenie 15 Years Sherry Cask is a luxurious single malt whisky that combines the silky character of Speyside with the depth of Spanish sherry casks. It is matured exclusively in hand-selected Oloroso sherry casks of European oak, giving it an intense colour and a rich, complex flavour profile.
The aroma opens with dark fruits, raisins, dates and a deep spicy sweetness, followed by hints of cocoa and roasted nuts. On the tongue it unfolds with notes of dried fruit, caramel, cinnamon and dark chocolate, all wrapped in a creamy, round texture. The finish is long, warm and slightly spicy - a perfect aftertaste to the rich experience.
The Balvenie 15 Years Sherry Cask is an obvious choice for sherry lovers who want to experience how a Speyside distillery can master the classic sherry profile with elegance and depth.

The Balvenie is one of the few distilleries in Scotland that still carries out the entire whisky production process under one roof – from its own grain and malting mill to its own coppersmiths and coopers. This dedication ensures unparalleled quality in every bottle.

It is matured exclusively in Oloroso sherry casks, which gives it an extra deep, fruity and spicy profile.
Is it sweeter than other Balvenie releases?
