A Brand New Balvenie Limited Edition is now available to order only at www.whiskyshop.com

The Balvenie First Fill 12 year old is the first in a series of “limited editions” –

Each bottle is one of no more than 300 drawn from a single cask and each bottle is hand-numbered and carries the number of the cask in which it matured.

 The Balvenie 12 Year Old Single Barrel First Fill.

Bottled at a higher strength of 47.8% ABV, this unique spirit spends 12 years in first-fill Bourbon barrels before being filled into no more than 300 hand-numbered bottles per cask. And while no two casks are quite the same, David personally selects only those with the distinct honey, oak and vanilla notes characteristic of The Balvenie Single Barrel.

Nose: Bounty of sweet oak and spice
Taste: Rich and complex with deep vanilla oakiness. Honey notes will be overlaid with sweet fruits and subtle spices.
Finish: Lingering sweetness.

The Balvenie Tun 1401 Batch 5 is now available to order – Stock is very limited so order online today to avoid disappointment.

The Balvenie Tun 1401 Batch 5, is married from nine casks of the distillery’s characteristic spirit.

Selected from five traditional whisky casks & four sherry butts from Warehouse 24, the contents were transferred into the impressive Tun 1401 – a traditional oak marrying vessel cared for by the distillery’s onsite team of coopers.

David Stewart said: “Working with whiskies of this age is both a delight & a challenge, their individual characteristics are so rich & complex. Determining which of the vintage whiskies will work together takes time and it is important to do justice to them

Upon pouring, a fragrant fruit nose before sweet vanilla emerges alongside honey & spices. A smooth balance between sweetness & oak tannin, underpinning a sherried character full of dried fruits, cinnamon & ginger spiciness. Rich, sweet and spicy. Bottled at 50.1% volume.

Only 900 bottles available in the UK.

Limited stock available to order.
