Balvenie 12 YR. American Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Sweet Toast of American Oak. Story #1  This has been aged in a new American oak barrel and as result picks up a more overt oak barrel sweetness and caramel versus the normal Balvenie. The palate shows orchard fruits, light oak sweetness and a light earth note. The palate is smooth and light with a hit of sweet oak and orchard fruits.  D&M Tasting Notes  43% ABV

Nose: Lusciously malty with some sweet fudge, followed by citrusy and oak vanilla aromas with layers of spicy oak notes of ginger and cinnamon.

Palate: Candied orange and lemon peel, vanilla toffee and butterscotch, layers of blossom honey, some melted brown sugar and oak spices at the end. 

Finish: Rich and malty with gentle waves of oak vanilla and subtle spices. Distillery Notes
