This 16 year old was initially aged in American oak casks before being transferred to French oak casks that previously held Pineau des Charentes, the fortified wine from the Cognac region. The result, created under Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE, brings a velvety sweetness with energising grapefruit, geranium, glazed fruit and ginger, alongside a generous helping of honey-glazed fruit and a subtle leafy hint. Bottled at 47.6% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Balvenie, Dufftown, Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 Years Old\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask:\u003c\/strong\u003e American oak, finished in French oak Pineau casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47.6%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMalt Master:\u003c\/strong\u003e David C.
