A TROPICAL WHISKY BORN FROM TWO DISTINCT CLIMATES.
Crafted with patience and expertise at The Balvenie Distillery, The Balvenie 12 Year Old Golden Cask is a whisky shaped by contrast - where the warmth of the Caribbean meets the cool embrace of Scotland. This addition to our collection is a testament to the art of cask finishing, delivering a rich, tropical complexity unlike any other.
A longer journey, makes a sweeter finish; matured for 12 years in traditional whisky casks, this single malt first develops The Balvenie’s signature notes of warm honey and smooth vanilla. It is then finished in bespoke rum-seasoned casks, created by blending rums aged under the Caribbean sun with those matured low and slow in Scotland’s Speyside air. This unique process infuses the whisky with bold layers of candied fruit, toasted oak, and delicate spice.
First cask: Twelve years of maturation in traditional whisky casks imparts a complex character of smooth honey.
Second cask: A finishing period in casks seasoned with a bespoke rum blend adds balanced layers of tropical candied fruit and vanilla.
The result: A whisky of remarkable depth and balance. On the nose, ripe bananas, vanilla, and toffee peanut brittle lead the way. The palate reveals sun-baked dried fruits, rich malted barley, and indulgent toffee, all wrapped in a warm embrace of woody spice. The finish is long, smooth, and laced with hints of toasted oak, making for a truly memorable dram.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: The aroma reveals warm notes of honey, fruity citrus, and a hint of vanilla, complemented by a subtle touch of spices.
Taste: The flavor is rich and complex, with notes of ripe peach, oak, and a softly sweet, almost tropical hint of coconut.
Finish: The finish is long and elegant, with a gentle spiciness that slowly fades into a smooth, honeyed aftertaste.
"Finished for 6 months in rum-seasoned casks using a bespoke blend of Caribbean and Scottish rums, this is very pleasant, with aromas of lemon drizzle cake, honey, ripe papaya, passion fruit syrup, and jackfruit. A smooth mouthfeel, this has flavors evolving through honey, caramel, and toffee, adding whole wheat muffin, malt, pepper, and toasted oak. Dried mango strips and apricots surface on a drying, honeyed finish." - Jonny McCormick, Whisky Advocate (91 Points)
