Balvenie Single Barrel #477 Whisky 12 Year Old · 2010 Vintage
Out of 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 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.
