The Balvenie Stories 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky - The Sweet Toast American Oak is aged primarily in ex-bourbon casks and finished in toasted Virgin Oak barrels imported from Kentucky. The result is a delectably complex whisky with notes of candied fruit, coconut and delicate vanilla. The story of the spectacular things that can happen when an ancient technique meets fresh ideas. Best enjoyed neat, on the rocks or with a splash of water to expand the flavor. The Balvenie Stories collection celebrates human tales of endeavor and explores unexpected twists, as told by its craftsmen at The Balvenie distillery in Dufftown, Scotland. The Balvenie distillery has been handcrafting whisky for more than 130 years, notably the most handcrafted of single malts. Nowhere else can you find a distillery that grows its own barley, malts in its own traditional floor maltings and still employs a team of coopers to tend to the casks alongside a coppersmith to maintain the stills. With a team committed to ultimate craftsmanship, their dedicated characters pour their soul and obsession into every single bottle. This demonstrates that, whilst it takes skill to make something great, it takes true heart to make it extraordinary. And of course, Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie who presides over the all-important maturation process. Founded in 1892 by William Grant, The Balvenie Single Malt Scotch Whisky is produced by William Grant & Sons Ltd, an award-winning independent family-owned distiller and today run by his direct descendants. Each expression has a very individual taste, rich, luxuriously smooth and underpinned by the distinctively honeyed character of The Balvenie. Handcrafted to be enjoyed responsibly.
