Customer Reviews
“Silky and nuanced. You can tell this came from a single barrel, it’s got soul.”   Marco, Greenhills
“My bottle’s from Cask 363. Had to check if I could buy another but that’s the beauty, isn’t it?”   Irene, Makati

Interesting Fact
Balvenie grows its own barley, malts it on-site, and even maintains its own cooperage and coppersmiths, making it one of the last truly handcrafted distilleries in Scotland.

Serving Suggestions
Neat is best to explore the subtleties. A few drops of water coax out floral and citrus notes. Try pairing with shortbread or aged white cheddar for a perfect contrast.

Distillery Background
Established in 1892 in Dufftown, The Balvenie remains one of the few distilleries to keep every stage of whisky making in house. Under the eye of longtime Malt Master David C. Stewart, their releases continue to marry precision with soul and the 12YO Single Barrel is one of his quiet masterpieces.
