Balvenie 12 Single Barrel Bottling Note

Released in 2013, Balvenie's Single Barrel First Fill was matured in first-fill bourbon casks for at least 12 years before bottling. These are limited edition bottlings, with each bottle being one of no more than 300 drawn from a single cask. Each is also hand-numbered and labelled with the cask reference number. A deliciously creamy, vanilla-rich whisky from Balvenie.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose: Toasted, sweet nose with all kinds of charred oak and spice. Hints of maple syrup and allspice, a little vanilla and sweet coffee.

Palate: A complex, thick palate with allspice and toffee apples. Cooked fruit and baking spices, hints of sponge cake and creamy caramel.

Finish: Long finish with lingering sweetness and spice.

Overall: An intense whisky with lots of influence from the cask. Great value for money too.

Balvenie 12 Year Old Single Barrel - First Fill Reviews

One to savour . Buy again

Cask 2824 bottle 181. My son and I loved this. Truly exceptional

5 star for taste and value

Balvenie 12yr Single Barrel First Fill is one of the few single malts that I have sought for subsequent purchase, both for personal consumption and for gifting. I’ve enjoyed several very expensive scotch whiskies but none that were a better dollar for value purchase.

If you like the other Balvenies this is nothing like them.

I was really disappointed. No real depth, too strong alcohol taste. If there is vanilla, there it is overpowered. Slight oak and hardly any finish. I know each barrel will be unique and obviously it is a bit of pot luck. £59 is a bit much to not be sure of what you are getting. Maybe like another reviewer I was unlucky! I love all the other Balvenies I have tried but this is just not good.

Whiskey that doubles the sweetness

It is fragrant and has a deep taste and flavor that cannot be compared with doublewood. Double wood also has a strong vanilla and sweet scent, but if I had to choose, I would choose the single barrel. It's hard to find in Korea, so I bought it at the expense of a tax bomb and to be a bottle junkie. It seems like an option that will not disappoint. If the liquor tax was even a little cheaper, I would have bought several bottles, but that's a bit of a disappointment. This is a really good whiskey.

A decent dram

Well...first Balvenie single barrel and two drams in I find it a bit one-dimensional; doesn’t offer the complexity of a 12yo Glenallachie or a 12yo Tobermory. A decent dram without setting off the fireworks!

Very good indeed.

Recently opened my first bottle of this & first taste was pretty uneventful (sour & spice).
A drop of water opened it up slightly, adding a little sweetness.
It was the 2nd glass that it came to life & offered a lovely sweet spiciness along with citrus, tropical fruits, coconut & for a moment what I thought tasted like a fresh baked fruit cake :P
Top stuff !!

whisky as it should be

what a belter of a dram . smooth as silk and bursting with flavour . quite similar to glen garioch 12 ( which is a huge compliment) Really benefits from higher abv and being non chill filtered. Delicious whisky , dangerously moreish

My god, some of the pretentious rubbish by people below.

It's a fantastic whisky, just try it if you haven't already.
