Description

The Balvenie 12 Year Old The Sweet Toast of American Oak is the first release in The Balvenie Stories collection, inspired by Apprentice Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie's idea to import Virgin Oak barrels from Kentucky. This single malt Scotch whisky is initially matured in ex-bourbon barrels before being finished in heavily toasted virgin American oak casks at The Balvenie Cooperage. This process results in a complex and fruitier, sweeter Balvenie with notes of candied fruit, coconut, and delicate vanilla.
