Balvenie Single Barrel #2826 Whisky 12 Year Old · 2010 Vintage
In stock
This Single Malt has been matured exclusively in a First Fill Ex-Bourbon barrel for at least twelve years. The craft of Whisky-making and the alchemy of cask, spirit and time are embodied perfectly. Each cask tells its own story and its yeld is, by nature, one of a kind.
Whilst no two casks will ever produce and identical Single Malt, because of the careful sampling and selection by Balvenie's Malt Master, the Balvenie Single Barrel has a consistent character which is rich and complex, with a deep vanilla oakiness. Honey notes are overlaid with sweet fruits and subtle spices. The finish is lingeringly sweet.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep golden amber with honey-gold highlights, a warm, sunlit glow.
Nose
Opulent vanilla and toasted oak lead, bathed in honeyed sweetness and ripe orchard fruits. Subtle spices—cinnamon and nutmeg—add warmth, while a creamy caramel undertone gives velvet sweetness. A bright bourbon edge lingers, hinting at the cask’s generous, refined character.
Palate
On the palate, a creamy wave of vanilla from the first-fill bourbon cask leads into honeyed sweetness and ripe fruit. Subtle spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—drifts through the mid-palate, supported by rich oak. The texture is lush and balanced, finishing with a lingering, refined sweetness.
Finish
A lingering, sweet finish coats the palate with honeyed vanilla and subtle spice, fading to a warm, lasting sweetness.
