Product description
Balvenie 12 years old First Fill Single Barrel debuted in 2013 as another offering from David Stewart, legendary master distiller of William Grant & Sons.
This is the creamiest Balvenie we’ve come across yet. The whisky has spent 12 years in a first-fill bourbon barrel, with each batch made from no more than 300 bottles. The bottles are numbered, and the label also includes the barrel number. We know that no two barrels of whisky are the same, but the single barrel edition prioritizes strong notes of honey and vanilla. This whisky comes from barrel number 2800. Balvenie is currently the sixth most popular single malt whisky, with 4.2 million bottles sold in 2021.
Aroma: fresh, vanilla, honey, lemons, pineapples, bananas, baked apples, yeast cake, mocha, cinnamon, allspice and toasted oak.
Palate : vanilla pudding, honeyed peanuts, toffee apples, coconut flakes, golden syrup, lemon pepper and a light touch of oak.
Finish : medium long, with notes of vanilla, honey, toffee, citrus candy, allspice, cinnamon and oak.
