The Whisky Jury Balvy - Cask #681R is a long-aged blended Scotch whisky drawn from a single refill hogshead and bottled at 52.0% ABV. For a novice drinker, that means an older whisky presented at a robust natural strength, with a style likely shaped as much by time in cask as by the spirit itself.

An intriguing old Speyside malt that shifts from dusty fruit and honey on the nose to a sharper palate of citrus, eucalyptus and coastal spice.
