Description
Comprising three single malts, The Balvenie Stories range includes 12 Year Old The Sweet Toast of American Oak, 14 Year Old The Week of Peat and 26 Year Old A Day of Dark Barley.
The Balvenie The Sweet Toast Of American Oak is story no. 1 in The Balvenie Story Series. Inspired to produce an even fruitier, sweeter Balvenie, Apprentice Malt Master Kelsey Mckenchie 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 that has been aged for 12 years with notes of candied fruit, coconut and delicate vanilla.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Lusciously malty with some sweet fudge, followed by a citrus hint with oak vanilla aromas as layers of spicy oak notes of ginger and cinnamon round the nose off.
Palate: Candied orange and lemon peel with rich vanilla toffee and butterscotch, layers of blossom honey provide a sweet hint with some melted brown sugar and oak spices lingering on the finish.
Finish: Rich and malty with gentle waves of oak vanilla and subtle spices.
