    Balvenie 12 Year Old Single Barrel - First Fill

    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.

    A force to be reckoned with

    I never thought I'd like this whisky so much, given that I drink smoky, peaty whiskies all the time. But this is truly something special and well worth the price. The best that balvenie makes in the 12 year range.

    Truly special

    Now I have had doublewood many times and it is great but it is also overpriced here in the states now and since its the same price as this figured this was a better value and wow was I right. This is a very intriguing style of whisky to me quite dry and a little tart, very complex with a long finish that reveals vanilla, apples and spices.Only thing I can think of that's similar to this is Craigellachie 13 but this might actually be a little better. At first wasn't sure how much I liked this but drinking it again I realize this is a fantastic whisky, absolutely delightful with a long finish and good complexity. Cheers! The Sugarbear
