This Single Cask Nation Balmenach was produced in 2013 and matured 11 years in a 1st Fill ex-Bourbon Barrel before bottling at 59.2%.
700 mlProducer Tasting Note
Nose: Rich and heavy grain presence jumps out at you from the start. Spend a bit more time and notes of fresh hay bales, cold apple fritters, and unripened pears make themselves known. If Nasal Texture is your thing then you’ve come to the right place. There’s an almost waxy quality to the nose and it’s lovely.
Palate: Absolutely mouth coating with an almost mezcal-like sweet vegetal quality (less the smoky component). Over-steeped white tea, white chocolate laced with spicy cinnamon, and a tasting note reminiscent of the smell of hot vinyl seating in an old VW Bug. Some sweet brown baking spices (nutmeg and cardamom) round out the experience.
Finish: Lasting with notes of delicate spice (think banana peppers) and fresh sugared pears.

Sadly, there is no such thing as a Balmenach official bottling. Even indies are few and far between. Shame, really, as some Balmenach we've met have been damn good. This Maltbarn Balmenach spent 19 years in ex-Bourbon, before being bottled at 19 years of age. Outturn of 160 bottles.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 55.0% abv.
