Thoughts 💭 :  Indulge in the exquisite richness of fruity flavors and a lusciously smooth mouthfeel with this Balvenie whisky. As a delightful addition to the Stories series, A Collection of Curious Casks, this particular expression has been gracefully finished in a Hungarian Red Wine Cask being made available exclusively for global travel retail.

What sets this dram apart is its higher abv and non-chill filtering, characteristics not commonly found in offerings from this distillery. These qualities elevate the whisky to an even more exceptional level.

Prepare to be amazed by the impeccable balance of fruity notes that dance harmoniously on your palate. The distillery’s distinctive taste profile shines through, with delightful hints of cinnamon and occasional whispers of chocolate, adding a touch of intrigue to every sip.

So what do you think of the new series? Does this sound like one you might grab at the airport?

Sláinte!
