The arrival at the Balvenie distillery of a batch of dark roasted malted barley, more commonly used in the production of stout, marked the beginning of a 26-year long experiment. The result was a pleasing depth – smokiness and oakiness as well as the classic honey, vanilla and citrus flavours.
The Balvenie 26 Year Old A Day of Dark Barley is saturated in big malty notes, soft brown sugar, vanilla toffee, blossom honey and a mild oaky spiciness. The taste is syrupy with a toffee sweetness, some citrusy notes of tangy orange peel, followed by oak vanilla and a touch of cinnamon and ginger spices at the end. The finish is enduring, with gentle waves of vanilla and oak spices.
