Balmenach is one of the earliest legal distilleries in Scotland, producing an ‘old style’ rich and meaty spirit. We have taken this single malt Scotch whisky from its original bourbon hogshead and further matured it for two years in a smaller, fresh, 110 litre bourbon barrel from Koval Distillery in Chicago. This is a brilliantly clever creation by our team at Coleburn, who are using the ratio of wood to liquid as a tool to develop youthful spirits into drams that present full and vibrant flavours – excellence in the Art of Maturation.
