Balmenach Single Malt Scotch Whisky
9 Years Old
Sherrywood / 269 bottles
47.1%% ABV
Nose: Plum crumble and apricot twists give way to richer Jamaican ginger cake and dark chocolate. (Shavings of at least 85% cocoa solids in a Bournville drinking chocolate tub.)
Palate: Cacao nibs, light tannin, cloves and a full chunk of chocolate but none of these sit heavily. A little lighter than the nose suggests.
Finish: ‘Well-Sherried’ mincemeat, musty sandalwood, fresh red peppercorns and almond oil.Â
Non-chill filtered and natural colour. This spirit may haze at low temperatures and under dilution.
