Balvenie Single Barrel #12056 Whisky 15 Year Old · 1977 Vintage

Colour

Rich deep amber with copper-gold hues and mahogany edges.

Nose

Opulent, sherry‑kissed nose with dark dried fruits—figs and raisins—woven with honeyed Balvenie sweetness. Rich vanilla, toffee and toasted oak mingle with cinnamon and nutmeg. Subtle orange zest and almond paste lift the aroma, finished by a whisper of polished leather.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied and richly sherried on the palate. Deep dried fruits: prune, fig and raisin balanced by orange zest, cocoa and treacle. Subtle spice of cinnamon and nutmeg, with toasted oak. Velvety mouthfeel and a warming ABV bite that remains refined. Long, luxurious finish with lingering fruit, cocoa and almond, and a final whisper of spice.

Finish

Long, opulent finish with sherried dark-fruit sweetness weaving through toasted oak and spice, fading to warm vanilla and cocoa.
