An exquisite marriage of The Balvenie matured for 16 years in three distinct cask types: Oloroso Sherry butts, first-fill Bourbon barrels, and traditional whisky casks in a large wooden vessel known as a marrying tun. These new marriages of The Balvenie are made to precise recipes refined over time by our Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE to ensure that each captures the distillerys distinctive rich, smooth and honeyed style. The Balvenie 16 is characterised by vanilla sweetness and delicate fruit.
