Balvenie 12 Year Old Triple Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)
Speyside, Scotland
Triple Cask Scotch
40%
The Balvenie Triple Cask 12-year-old is a malt that sparkles of glitter and exudes relaxation. If you are looking for a smooth, comforting yet sophisticated malt that you can sip while watching the sunset on a sandy beach at the height of the summer, then this will take you there. Balvenie is located in Dufftown, yes, the same location as Glenfiddich, which makes the challenge between the two an interesting story.

our tasting notes
Nose
The nose reflects colour. Elegant, aromatic, smooth and sweet with layers of honeycomb and spice, followed by exotic dried fruits, apricot and honey, vanilla yet cinnamon and hints of raisins and sponge cake.
Taste
The palate follows on from the nose. Definitely fruity with sweet oranges, green apples, apricot, with oak, cinnamon, layers of green tea and mint. Right at the end, tea and custard creams.
Finish
Warm, mellow something to savour. Sponge toffee. light pepper, oaky with burnt marshmallow for sweetness.
about
Triple Cask is a departure from Balvenie’s popular Double Wood and definitely exceeds the high standards set by its older brother. As you may have guessed the term ‘triple cask’ refers to the use of three casks, but how does that work? Well it is just that simple. Balvenie that has matured for 12 years in the three most traditional types of cask – first-fill American Bourbon, refill American Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks is then “married” (mixed together) in a large wooden vessel known as a marrying tun. The ‘Triple Cask’ then finally matures for another 6 months in the tun. The result is a stunning blend of flavours, nose and colour that mixes, vanilla and orchard fruit with cinnamon spice, custard creams and oak. Definitely one to savour on its own.
