The Balvenie The Sweet Toast of American Oak 12 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml
The Balvenie The Sweet Toast of American Oak 12 Year Old is the first release in The Balvenie Stories collection, a series exploring the people, places, and craftsmanship behind the distillery. Created by Apprentice Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie, this expression takes Balvenie's classic single malt aged 12 years in ex-bourbon barrels and finishes it in virgin American oak casks imported from Kentucky, deeply toasted at The Balvenie's own cooperage to draw out maximum sweetness and fruit character.
Bottled at 43% ABV, the nose brings sweet malty fudge, citrusy oak vanilla, and gingerbread, layered with cinnamon and ginger spice. The palate delivers candied orange peel, vanilla toffee, and butterscotch, developing into melted brown sugar, blossom honey, and rich oak spice, finishing with lingering vanilla and gentle warmth.
Distilled at The Balvenie's Speyside estate, founded in 1886 by William Grant and still home to the distillery's own floor maltings and on-site cooperage, this expression showcases a fruitier, sweeter take on Balvenie's signature style, making it a standout for fans of the classic 12 Year DoubleWood looking to explore the brand's more experimental Stories range.
