Living Souls

Balmenach 22 Years Old

ABV: 44.9% 70 cL

This distinctive 22-year-old Balmenach transports you to a Riesling vineyard in the rolling hills of Germany, where sunlit rows of vines stretch into the distance.

Bottled by Living Souls at natural colour and no chill filtration. 

Nose

Crisp white grapes and the soft floral sweetness of Parma Violets. The faint scent of Brasso lingers, like stepping into a timeworn toolshed beside the vines.

Palate

Bright, carrying notes of melon, lemon peel and stone fruits.

Finish

Long and floral.

£105.00

Tax included.

The Balmenach distillery was initially operated without a license until 1824 when James MacGregor obtained a license for it. Its original name was Balminoch, which is derived from the Gaelic name ‘Am Baile Meadhnach’, meaning ‘middle farm’. In 1922, the name was changed to Balmenach Glenlivet Distillery Company, and the distillery became a part of Distillers Company Limited. Today Balmenach uses traditional machinery and methods. Most of the liquid produced in Balmenach is used for blends, and the distillery does not have an official single malt offering, but it can be found through independent bottlers.
