The Balvenie 12 Year Old Single Barrel

The Balvenie 12 Year Old Single Barrel First Fill is a limited Scottish Speyside single malt whisky, drawn exclusively from a single carefully selected first-fill bourbon cask. These casks have the most pronounced influence on the whisky’s character, imparting greater sweetness, creaminess, and a signature vanilla-and-oak profile.

The role of the malt master is to select only those casks that perfectly express The Balvenie’s house style – honeyed sweetness, smoothness, and balance. Each cask matures individually and is bottled without being married with others, ensuring that every release has a slightly different yet always authentic character.

The whisky is bottled exclusively from a single cask, with each cask yielding a maximum of approximately 300 bottles. Every bottle carries the individual cask number, highlighting its collectible and handcrafted nature.

On the palate, it is harmonious and clean, offering notes of vanilla, honey, caramel, and gentle oak. This is a whisky that appeals to connoisseurs seeking authenticity, as well as to those who wish to explore the pure influence of bourbon casks on single malt whisky.

The Balvenie 12 Year Old Single Barrel First Fill is an ideal choice for lovers of limited editions, and also makes an elegant gift with a clear provenance and a distinctive story.
