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

Lusciously malty with some sweet fudge, followed by citrusy and oak vanilla aromas with layers of spicy oak notes of ginger and cinnamon. Candied orange and lemon peel, vanilla toffee and butterscotch, layers of blossom honey, some melted brown sugar and oak spices at the end. Rich and malty with gentle waves of oak vanilla and subtle spices.
