Unfortunately, we can't ship Balvenie Signature 12 Year Old Batch 001 to the United States at the moment, but we've got some friends who can.
This 12 year old Balvenie was released in 2008 and was launched to replace the 10 year old Founders Reserve. This bottling was aged in first fill bourbon barrels and refill casks and sherry butts. This is from the first batch released!
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
A little spiced rum opens up the nose with gorgeous hints of date and walnut cake, a little honeyed oiliness, a dusting of cocoa and lush crystallized ginger. The mouth feel is delicately vinous, in true Balvenie style, the palate holds winter spice and salty butter pastry with a sweet vanilla and melted cookie dough ice-cream. The finish is tight and swift, the bourbon oak notes fading out with added toasty vanilla.

It was a sad day when Founders Reserve was replaced with the Signature, there was no surprise when production ceased !

I like the saltiness. The honey and vanilla notes. The design of this bottle, cork and label appeals to me as well. Makes me want to taste some more from this distillery. The bottom of the bottle is nearly reached. It was good. Time for the single barrels.

Not a bad whisky but not one I will be buying for myself again as for the money (even though bought on special offer at Sainsburys) I have found plenty other whiskys I prefer...This is a whisky I would readily offer visiting friends alongside my Glenmorangie and Aberlour without feeling stingy, while saving my Fettercairn Fior & Dalmore for myself and special occasions!

...listening to the consumer and doing away with chill-filtration, brown dye and bottling at a higher strength? Imagine. x
