The Balvenie Stories, The Sweet Toast of American Oak 12 year old Whisky

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.

"The Stories range celebrates our Makers and the creativity, determination and passion that they put into The Balvenie." - DAVID C STEWART (MBE)MALT MASTER
