Balvenie 12Yr Single Barrel Single Malt Scotch 750ml
$178.98 $143.18
Released in 2013, Balvenie’s Single Barrel First Fill was matured in first-fill bourbon casks for at least 12 years before bottling. These are limited edition bottlings, with each bottle being one of no more than 300 drawn from a single cask. Each is also hand-numbered and labelled with the cask reference number. A deliciously creamy, vanilla-rich whisky from Balvenie.
Tasting Notes:
Nose
Toasted, sweet nose with all kinds of charred oak and spice. Hints of maple syrup and allspice, a little vanilla and sweet coffee.
Palate
A complex, thick palate with allspice and toffee apples. Cooked fruit and baking spices, hints of sponge cake and creamy caramel.
Finish
Long finish with lingering sweetness and spice.
Overall
An intense whisky with lots of influence from the cask. Great value for money too.
