"This single malt has been matured exclusively in a European Oak Sherry Butt fir at least 15 years. Our Malt Master carefully samples the aged whisky, cask by cask. He will select only single malt characteristics by dried fruit sweetness, rich oak and spice to be bottled as The Balvenie Single Barrel Sherry Cask. Whilst no two casks will ever produce an identical single malt, because of the caeful sampling and selection by our Malt Master, The Balvenie Single Barrel Sherry Cask has a consistent character that is rich with elegant oak and subtle spice. Dried fruits are overlaid with a gentle nuttiness, leading to a long and sherried finish. This bottle is one of no more than 650 drawn from a single cask."
