Balmenach 2016 9 Year Old 100 Proof Edition 57 Signatory
This nine-year-old Speyside single malt has been matured exclusively in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts, resulting in a rich and full-bodied character. Bottled as part of the acclaimed 100 Proof Edition range, it showcases indulgent aromas and flavors of treacle tart, dark chocolate, and toasted hazelnuts, culminating in a warming finish with notes of clove and bitter orange.
Balmenach Distillery
Balmenach distillery is located in Cromdale, Moray in the Speyside whisky region. The legal Balmenach distillery was built in 1824. This made Balmenach one of the first few distilleries to be licensed under the Excise Act 1823.
In the second half of the 19th century the distillery was connected to the Strathspey Railway line with its own railway track. In the 20th century the distillery changed hands a couple of times and in 1997 Inver House distillers acquired it. Caorunn gin is produced at the distillery today.
The distillery uses a short fermentation period and small pot stills. This produces a thick and rich spirit that blenders use to add body and character to their blends. At the time of writing, Inver House distillers has no plans to release Balmenach as a single malt. Some independent bottlings are sometimes available.
