The 12-year-old expression in Balvenie's travel retail Triple Cask range is made with whisky matured in three different types of cask, namely first-fill American oak barrels, traditional refill casks, and first-fill oloroso sherry butts. Following the maturation, the whisky is married together to create a cohesive, flavoursome expression packed with orchard fruit, custard cream, and cinnamon spice.

Bought this on the recommendation of a good friend and glad I did. £60 for a litre in duty free so well worth it. A very enjoyable dram, great flavours. Rumour has it it’s coming to an end due to the master distiller retiring so grab it while you can!
So, I picked this up and I was excited. Poured, slowly drank. Wasnt good but wasn't bad. Read some reviews and was a little surprised why I didn't like it as much as I thought. Mmmm for that price I wasn't impressed. Next day I had to give it another chance. This time, I poured and left for 30mins. Wow, what a massive difference. Does come across quite strong, but only 40%. Loads of flavour, not heavy on sherry. Finish is medium but not long at all which is a shame. However finish does have good flavour so you cant moan. Overall, a very nice one, just let it breath a little (in my experience anyway)
Not entirely cask dominated but oaky notes come through a little too strongly on occasion. Left to settle for 20-30 mins draws out stronger spicy notes from US 1st fill casks and the Sherry butts. As expected strong dried fruits, hints of tobacco, nuts and leather. Slight aniseed notes also from the high Eugenol from the 1st fill US casks. Finish is only medium in length and very much reflects the nose and taste compounds. A pleasant whisky and a bit more spicy than the usual Sherried casks.
I recieved a small bottle of this scotch as a gift. It is a wonderfully light clear taste. I normally drink Double Wood, it is a much sweeter flavor. I find this flavor cleaner and easy to enjoy.
Exceptionally smooth. It leaves a hint of fruit on the palette. Leaves you wanting more. One of the best ones I have had ever. If you like highland scotch’s you will love this!!!
