The Balvenie offers some of the world’s superior single malt Scotch, and this featured bottling of the Balvenie Triple Cask 12 year old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is no exception to that renowned reputation. The Triple Cask series was crafted exclusively for travel retail locations, making it a very rare selection of premium whiskies from this elite distillery. Balvenie 12 Year Triple Cask is derived from whisky that has matured in a trifecta of casks, specifically; first-fill American oak barrels, traditional refill casks, and first-fill Oloroso ex-sherry butts. The distillate is then blended in a custom wooden marrying tun and finished at 40% ABV. Produced in limited quantities, this highly favored single malt features aromas of orchard apples, syrup, vanilla, and crushed mint over hints of metallic tinned peaches and caramel. The palate enjoys a sampling of sweet cream, island mangos, and honey paired with hints of spice, ginger, and citrus.
