Aged for 12 Years

Inspired to produce an even fruitier, sweeter Balvenie, Apprentice Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie had the bright idea to import Virgin Oak barrels from Kentucky. After deep toasting them at The Balvenie Cooperage they were filled with Balvenie aged in ex-bourbon barrels. The result is a delectably complex whisky with notes of candied fruit, coconut and delicate vanilla.

The Balvenie Distillery is built on the stories that are told from each generation of craftsmen to the next. The Balvenie Stories range of three whiskies, is a collection of single malt whiskies representing tales of character, endeavour and craft.

Each whisky produced by The Balvenie tells a human story, evolving with the protagonists and developing unexpected twists through years of maturation.
