The Balvenie

The Balvenie 12 Years Old

The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 single malt whisky gains its distinctive character from being matured in two different wood types. Each stage lends different qualities to the resulting single malt whisky.

The Balvenie Single Barrel 12 Years Old

The Balvenie Single Barrel 12 First Fill is a 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 brought to Scotland and used for the very first time they are known as “First Fill”.

Our Malt Master samples the aged whisky, cask by cask and selects only those characterised by sweetness and subtle vanilla oak 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 carries the number of the cask in which it matured.

The Balvenie The Sweet Toast of American Oak 12 Years Old

This is the story of the spectacular things that could happen when an ancient technique meets fresh new ideas.

At a get-together with the team, a seed of an idea took root to produce an even fruitier, sweeter-tasting Balvenie. Virgin Oak barrels were imported from Louisville, Kentucky and after deep toasting at The Balvenie Cooperage, they were filled with Balvenie aged in ex-bourbon barrels, and matured for 12 years.

A magical combination of nature, chemistry ingenuity, and a happy ending to our story.

The Balvenie The Week of Peat 14 Years Old

Eager to experiment with The Balvenie profile using what he had learnt from a recent trip to Islay, distillery manager lan Millar ordered a batch of Speyside peat for the kiln.

For a week a year, The Balvenie distills a batch of peated malt, resulting in a whisky rich in honey, vanilla and citrus notes with an extra layer of delicate smokiness. With The Week of Peat, we are going back to the way we used to make The Balvenie with heart and passion in each bottle.

The Balvenie 16 Years Old

The Balvenie French Oak whisky is a vibrant single malt finished in casks that previously held wine from the French Charentes vineyards.

The Balvenie The Edge of Burnhead Wood 19 Years Old

Inspired by the fragrant, heather-cloaked highlands that surround The Balvenie Distillery, The Edge of Burnhead Wood celebrates the pastoral tale of how The Balvenie craftsmen experimented with the distillery’s natural resources to find the perfect match between fresh heather and barley.

The expression, which is made from locally sourced ingredients found in the distillery grounds – home-grown barley malted at The Balvenie Maltings, water from the Conval hills, and fresh heather from Burnhead Wood – retains the familiar robust Balvenie taste, with a delicate fruitiness, as well as notes of light spice and juicy fruits.
