The Balvenie a Collection of Curious Casks 18yo French Pinot Cask is an aged 2024 release from the Speyside Distillery which is part of the Curious Casks series. The spirit used for this release has been aged in ex-bourbon casks, then to be finished in typically French Pinot de Chanteres casks.
The typical notes of Balvenie are present here as well, however there is a more particular sweetness which s hard to split from the main core of honeyed almond and yellow light fruit, as it permeates all the other scents with a dessert wine-style. Little too much maybe.
Also in this part the complexity of the spirit is slightly jeopardized by a quite marking finish, which adds a minor acidity and some sweet wine sides to the nuttiness and yellow fruit of the biscuit core, but with a slightly heavy touch.
Medium-long, little too sweet
The Balvenie a Collection of Curious Casks 18yo French Pinot Cask is slightly less complex than other releases from the same distillery. The malted core, rich in honey and yellow fruit, with a classy vanilla, gets the sweet wine note which adds an extra layer, but the finish is probably not gentle enough.
