The Balvenie – 12 Year Old First Fill American Oak Single Barrel (70cl)

The Balvenie Single Barrel First Fill is a 12 year old single malt in a 70cl bottle, matured in a single first fill ex-bourbon cask of American oak. Each bottle is hand-numbered and carries the number of the cask it was drawn from. The malt master samples the whisky cask by cask and selects only those marked by sweetness and subtle vanilla oak. It is part of a series of limited editions. The nose is honey with sweet fruits and subtle spices. The palate is rich and complex, with deep vanilla oakiness, and the finish is lingeringly sweet.
