The Balvenie 18 Year Old Pedro Ximénez Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 70cl
The Balvenie 18 Year Old Pedro Ximénez Cask is a Speyside single malt initially matured in American oak ex-bourbon casks, then finished in rich Pedro Ximénez sherry casks — the sweetest and most concentrated style of sherry. The PX-cask finish lends extraordinary dark dried-fruit depth to the long-aged Balvenie spirit.
Founded in 1892, family-owned.
An elegant sipping single malt — neat in a snifter to fully appreciate the rich PX-cask layering.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Opulent and aromatic — caramelised dried fruit, raisin, fig, vanilla, dark caramel, soft baking spice, and warm toasted oak — luxurious and beautifully composed.
PALATE
Rich and rounded — caramelised raisin, dried fig, vanilla cream, dark toffee, gentle leather, dark cocoa, and integrated PX sherry oak — silky, layered, and harmoniously balanced.
FINISH
Long and warmly oaked — lingering dried fruit, dark caramel, vanilla, gentle spice, and a sherried warmth fading slowly — refined and beautifully composed.
