Balvenie 26 Year A Day of Dark Barley

Balvenie 26 Year A Day of Dark Barley

This item is archived.

Balvenie's answer to Glenmorangie Signet was supposedly born of an accidental deliver of heavily roasted, dark barley, at the distillery more than a quarter of a century ago. Bottled at 47.8%, this is a part of the Balvenie Stories range.

Producer Description: "The arrival at the distillery of a batch of dark roasted malted barley, more commonly used in the production of stout, marked the beginning of a 26-year long experiment. The result was a pleasing depth – smokiness and oakiness as well as the classic honey, vanilla and citrus flavours."

Producer Tasting Note

Nose: Big malty notes, soft brown sugar, vanilla toffee, blossom honey and a mild oaky spiciness.

Taste: Syrupy with a toffee sweetness, some citrusy notes of tangy orange peel, followed by oak vanilla and a touch of cinnamon and ginger spices at the end.

Finish: Enduring gentle waves of vanilla and oak spices.
