Balvenie 12 Years Old First Fill Single Barrel 70cl

Balvenie 12 Years Old First Fill Single Barrel is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky. It comes from The Balvenie, a byword for craftsmanship, maintaining its own floor maltings, coppersmiths and coopers to this day.

This release is bottled at 47.8%.

Nose: Malty depth, vanilla oak and inviting depth.
Palate: Orchard fruit, joined by honey, building in intensity.
Finish: Elegant and lingering, closing on soft brown sugar.

Best enjoyed neat, with just a drop of water to unlock the full aroma. Collector’s note: its single cask identity makes every bottle part of a finite run. A strong candidate for the cabinet as much as the glass.
