Product Details
The Balvenie 21 Years Old Port Wood is a work of art among single malts. After spending 21 years in traditional oak casks, it is transferred to casks that previously held fine port wines (Port Pipes) for finishing. This process imparts a unique fruity character while retaining Balvenie's core honey and vanilla profile, making it the ultimate choice for those seeking perfect balance.

The Balvenie distillery, located in Dufftown, Speyside, is one of the few distilleries still practicing the 'Five Rare Crafts'. From growing its own barley and traditional floor malting to employing on-site coppersmiths and coopers, Balvenie's dedication to every step of the process results in a distinctive heavy and honeyed style.
The soul behind this 21 Year Old Port Wood is Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE. With over half a century in the industry, he is a pioneer of 'Wood Finishing' technology. This expression is one of his proudest creations. He personally samples the whisky as it matures in port pipes to ensure the golden ratio of fruit sweetness to oak spice is achieved.
Since its launch, it has won numerous gold medals at the International Spirits Challenge (ISC) and the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. For whisky lovers, it is more than just a bottle; it represents twenty years of time refined into the pinnacle of Scottish single malt quality.
