    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.

    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.

    This is a complete single malt

    "wholesome"

    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!

    Alastair Oct 17, 2020

    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
