The Balvenie 12 Year Old – The Sweet Toast of American Oak is a vibrant and indulgent single malt whisky that showcases the Speyside distillery’s passion for innovation and craftsmanship. Initially matured in ex-bourbon barrels, it is then finished in virgin American oak casks that are hand-toasted at The Balvenie cooperage, enhancing the whisky’s natural sweetness.
On the nose, it offers aromas of vanilla toffee, candied orange peel, and toasted oak. The palate is rich and balanced with notes of fudge, citrus zest, and warming spice, all wrapped in a silky texture. The finish is long and smooth, leaving hints of oak and gentle sweetness.
Crafted by Master Distiller David C. Stewart MBE, this expression is part of The Balvenie Stories range—sharing the tale of cask experimentation and the distillery’s dedication to tradition and creativity.
