What sets this Balvenie 12-Year-Old apart is its unique finishing process in virgin American oak casks, sourced from Kentucky and heavily toasted to perfection. This imparts an even fruitier character to the whisky than is typical for Balvenie, enriched by a creamy, sweet profile.
On the nose, anticipate a harmonious blend of sweet and malty aromas—think fudge, citrus, and oaky vanilla—accentuated by the subtle spiciness of ginger and warm cinnamon. Your palate will be greeted with an initial burst of candied orange peel, vanilla toffee, and butterscotch, which gradually evolves into a complex medley of melted brown sugar, blossom honey, and a dash of rich oak spice.
The Balvenie Stories collection aims to narrate the history and craftsmanship of Balvenie's personnel through the years, capturing their 'character, endeavour, and craft' in every bottle.
