The 18-year-old Balvenie French Pineau Cask is the older brother of the Bourbon Barrel bottling from the new series "A Curious Cask Collection", which is the result of the curiosity and close collaboration between Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie and Samples Coordinator George Paterson. Both bottlings from this project are the successors to the successful Revelation of Cask and Character series.

Unpeated malt was milled, mashed, fermented and distilled. The casks used for the 18-year maturation of the French Pineau Cask Whisky are the result of an experiment by David Stewart, who originally wanted to use them for the 16-year-old French Oak release from The Balvenie, but then decided to use other French casks.

The special cask maturation in French Pineau casks gives the 18-year-old Balvenie an unrivalled elegance and sophistication that delights whisky connoisseurs and newcomers alike.
