    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.

    Amazing

    Opened a bottle of this tonight and there are no words to describe it's delicate and smooth yet rich flavour. MoM are also is providing excellent service.

    Awesome

    Without question the best 12 year old distillery bottling around. Absolutely stunning.

    Delicious!

    Master of Malt Customer Jan 27, 2016

    At this price, a superior product to the 12 Doublewood

    First of all, you lucky blokes get to buy this at $54 US. That is a bargain and a half. Second, this is a far superior whiskey to the 12 year Doublewood at only 2 more quid. Buy this now, you will not regret it.

    Master of Malt Customer Jan 25, 2016

    Dissapointed

    All there is, is harsh spice and more spice. Unpleasant to drink and not worth the money at all.. Water just renders it bitter tasting.. My first and last Balvenie bottle I buy without having tasted it first. Bad cask? Who knows..
