 A quite spectacular speyside single malt. The Balvenie experimented with finishing before it was fashionable to do so and the PortWood is an excellent example of that process. The rare malt is matured in bourbon casks, then finished in port pipes, adding a complexity to an otherwise excellent whisky that truly makes it award winning. A superb dessert malt which should also be in everyone's collection.
