About Balvenie 21Yr Portwood
The Balvenie 21 Year Old PortWood is a premium single malt Scotch whisky from William Grant & Sons, aged 21 years in traditional oak casks and finished in rare 30-year-old port pipes for refined complexity. What makes it special is the masterful balance of Balvenie's signature honeyed elegance with subtle port influences—fruity raisins, cherries, and spices—without overwhelming the spirit, creating a silky, layered dram at 43% ABV. Ideal for connoisseurs and after-dinner sippers seeking sophistication over bold port bombs, it stands out in the finished Scotch category for its poise, outperforming heavier port-influenced peers like some Macallans by preserving delicacy and length. At $270 for 750ml, it's a luxurious treat for those appreciating nuanced, award-winning heritage.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
A powerful perfume of honey, oak, vanilla, ripe raisins, and fruity berries greets the senses, laced with nuts, nutmeg, cinnamon, and subtle floral hints. Adding water mellows the intensity, revealing light florals and an intoxicating richness. Notes of apples, peaches, plums, and Balvenie's hallmark honey sweetness add inviting depth.
👅 Palate
Complex and silky with initial sweet honey, nuts, and resinous port reduction featuring cherries, sultanas, raisins, and balsamic. Creamy layers of fruit, spice, baked apples, vanilla, and gentle oak evolve into floral honeysuckle and baking spices, medium-bodied yet substantial. Smooth and refined, it transitions elegantly from sweet to dry without heaviness.
✨ Finish
Long, gentle, and light with lingering honeyed oak, nutty walnuts, berries, and subtle tannic spice. Warm baking spices and vanilla persist impressively, even an hour later.
