Things I Like: The Balvenie 12 Year Double Cask - World, Scotch... Scotch, World
THE BALVENIE
Signature, Aged 12 Years
The Balvenie Signature Aged 12 Years is an exposition of the traditional art of The Balvenie Malt Master, David Stewart ~ created to celebrate his 45 years in the whisky industry. He skilfully marries aged Balvenie from the finest first fill bourbon, refill and sherry casks to create this signature malt, characterised by honey, spice and subtle oak. A limited release, each batch of The Balvenie Signature is a unique marriage of these three cask types and each bottle carries its own batch number.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Rich and complex with honey, citrus fruits and vanilla oak notes.
TASTE
Rich and honeyed with a hint of sherry fruitiness. A spiciness of cinnamon and nutmeg and a subtle oakiness develop with time.
FINISH
Warm and lingering.
