Balmenach 2013
Benchmark Autumn 2026
Established in 1824, Balmenach is one of Speyside oldest distilleries, its name translates from Gaelic as ‘the middle farm’ referencing the agricultural origins of the Scotch whisky industry. Today, the distillery continues to produce a style of single malt that allows the sweetness of the barley to shine in every drop.
“Fully matured for eleven years in first-fill Bourbon barrels, the mellow influence of the American oak gently complements Balmenach’s creamy character. Over the years, layers of lingering sweetness and lush complexity developed within this captivating dram that transports you to the barley rich fields of Speyside.”
