The Balvenie 18 Year – Curious Casks (French Pineau Cask Finish)

The Balvenie 18 Year – A Collection of Curious Casks is a rare, limited-edition release crafted by Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE. This expression is initially matured in traditional American oak before being finished in French Pineau casks, adding layers of fruit sweetness, bright oak, and elegant depth. A beautifully balanced Speyside whisky, this 18-year-old showcases The Balvenie’s signature honeyed richness elevated by a refined, wine-influenced finish. Highly collectible and bottled in limited quantities, it stands out as one of Balvenie’s most intriguing cask experiments.
