Balmenach 1979

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Berry Bros. & Rudd

ABV: 56.3%

The nose is lightly spiced with notes of pears and peaches. The taste starts off with an intense pepperiness that fades slowly to reveal notes of honey and black tea. The finish is lingering with a good balance of pepper and honey. The balance and consistency is excellent.
