Turntable Spirits

Balmenach 8 Years Old Turntable Singles

ABV: 50% 70 cL

This single malt was distilled at Balmenach Distillery near Cromdale, on the edge of the Cairngorms in Speyside. Balmenach is known for a heavy, robust and meaty spirit, a style with the weight to stand up to a big sherry cask.

It comes from Singles, the single cask series from Turntable Spirits. Singles is where Turntable puts the individual casks they feel need no remix, single malts and single grains bottled exactly as they are. This one spent its full maturation in a single Oloroso sherry butt, and each label is printed at a different rotation, like a spinning record, so no two bottles look quite the same.

Balmenach's weighty spirit and a full Oloroso butt make a natural pairing, giving a full-bodied and robust single malt.

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.
