The Balvenie 12 Single Barrel

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 47.8%

Score: 89 Points

The Balvenie 12 Single BarrelThis whisky comes from ex-Bourbon casks, and the nose has notes of vanilla, honey, almonds, and toasted oak. The taste is spicy and warm with a good cinnamon touch, black tea with honey, and butterscotch. The finish is aromatic and spicy, as cinnamon lingers with butterscotch and honey touches. Very sweet and nice.  (February, 2013)
