Balvenie Single Barrel #12745 Whisky 12 Year Old · 2000 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany undertones and coppery highlights.

Nose

Opulent nose of honeyed malt, vanilla, and toffee, mingling with dried plum, fig, and raisin from the sherry cask. A touch of orange zest, toasted almond, and a whisper of nutmeg lend warm, elegant complexity.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied and warmly sweet, with honeyed malt, vanilla and caramel that linger on the mid-palate. Dried fruit, orange zest and a whisper of spice unfold over refined oak, finishing long and balanced.

Finish

Silky and persistent, the finish coats the palate with honeyed vanilla and dried fruit, then unfurls toasted oak and gentle spice. Sherry-sweetness lingers into cocoa and almond, leaving a warm, refined glow that slowly fades to a polished vestige.
