The Balvenie 12 Year Old Double Wood
Scotch Single Malt Whisky / 70cl / 40%
It was firstly matured in refill American oak casks before it was treated to a finish in first fill European oak Oloroso sherry butts for an additional nine months. Even at 12 years old, this rich and complex dram is an excellent example of what the Balvenie distillery can craft.
The Balvenie 12 Year Old Single Barrel - First Fill
Scotch Single Malt Whisky / 70cl / 47.8%
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.
The Balvenie 12 Year Old American Oak
Scotch Single Malt Whisky / 70cl / 43%
A creamy, sweet single malt, The Sweet Toast of American Oak is the first whisky in the Balvenie Stories collection. Finished in heavily-toasted virgin American oak casks from Kentucky, it is even fruitier than normal. Sweet, malty aromas of fudge, citrus and oaky vanilla mingle with spicy ginger and warm cinnamon on the nose. The palate initially offers notes of candied orange peel, vanilla toffee and butterscotch, developing slowly into flavours of melted brown sugar, blossom honey and rich oak spice.
The Balvenie 14 Year Old Caribbean Cask
Scotch Single Malt Whisky / 70cl / 43%
After an initial maturation in ex-bourbon barrels it was finished in Caribbean rum casks, which imparted a rich creaminess to the whisky's hallmark honeyed character. There are aromas of candied lemon, toffee and ripe bananas on the nose, complemented by notes of fresh pineapple and salted caramel, underpinned by stewed orchard fruits. This is a wonderfully complex-yet gentle dram.
The Balvenie 15 Year Old Madeira Cask
Scotch Single Malt Whisky / 70cl / 43%
The Balvenie 15 Year Old was distilled at the famous Speyside Distillery and matured in a Maderia Cask, sourced from Portugal, that has imparted a fruity, summery range of notes onto the smooth and moreish spirit. Expect aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry that mingle with ginger and delicate spices on the nose, before the palate arrives with rip peaches, cherries, gentle hazelnut and subtle oak. It’s a truly delicious dram from a world class distillery that is worth getting your hands on while you can.
The Balvenie 19 Year Old The Edge Of The Burnhead Wood
Scotch Single Malt Whisky / 70cl / 48.7%
The Edge of Burnhead Wood is the fourth release in Balvenie's Stories range, and again we find the distillery in Speyside in an experimental mood. This is a 19 year old single malt which has been made entirely with ingredients grown on Balvenie's Dufftown estate, including home-grown barley, water from the Robbie Dhu spring, and even fresh heather from the eponymous Burnhead Wood. The heather was dried, dampened and then put into the kiln during the malting . The result is a fascinating single malt, packed with honey, dried blossoms and fragrant oak.
The Balvenie The Creation Of A Classic
Scotch Single Malt Whisky / 70cl / 43%
This expression from Balvenie's The Stories range celebrates David C. Stewart MBE who pioneered the use of wood finishes in whisky by introducing The Balvenie Classic in 1983 – finished in oloroso sherry casks. The nose and palate take dedicated ‘Balvenians’ back to basics with aromas of lively vanilla, dried cloves and barley malt, followed by syrupy oatmeal, brittle toffee and dry oak throughout the palate.
The Balvenie 21 Year Old Port Wood Finish
Scotch Single Malt Whisky / 70cl / 43%
n additional period of maturation in 30 year-old port pipes has given this aged Balvenie an extra level of depth and concentration of flavour, adding potent fruit and smoke notes to the silky-smooth full-bodied palate. Rich, indulgent, after-dinner Speyside at its best.
The Balvenie 25 Year Old Rare Marriages
Scotch Single Malt Whisky / 70cl / 48%
