The Balvenie Single Barrel First Fill is a 12 year old single malt whisky, aged in a first fill, ex-bourbon cask. Almost all Scotch whisky is matured in casks previously used by Bourbon distillers. When they are brought to Scotland and used for the first time they are known as 'First Fill'.
Our Malt Master tastes the aged whisky, cask by cask and selects only those characterised by sweetness and subtle oak vanilla to be bottled as The Balvenie Single Barrel First Fill.
A series of 'limited editions' - Each bottle is one of no more than 300 drawn from a single cask and bears the number of the cask in which it was matured. Tasting notes
Nose: Notes of honey, overlaid with sweet fruits and subtle spices. Palate: Rich and complex with deep vanilla oak. Finish: Sweet and persistent.
