The first of The Balvenie Stories finds Apprentice Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie importing Virgin Oak barrels from Kentucky to produce a fruiter, sweeter Balvenie. After deep toasting them at The Balvenie Cooperage, they were filled with Balvenie aged in ex-bourbon barrels and the result is a delectably complex 12 year old whisky with notes of candied fruit, coconut and delicate vanilla.
NOTES OF
SCENT & FLAVOR
COLOR
Deep colour, almost opaque.
NOSE
Aroma of excellent complexity, with wild bush and spicy notes like curry, pepper and ginger, red berries and black fruits mixed with a light cacao touch, the result of a good maturation, along with a slightly stony finish.
PALATE
On the palate it has a powerful attack, with a lively acidity, firm and well present tannins, wild bush and red berry notes, with an extremely long finish and great concentration.
“Thanks to the characteristics and potential of the vineyards at Quinta do Seixo, it was possible to cut through the strong maturations of this year's harvest. As a result, we produced very balanced and robust wines, with aromatic notes typical of more mature years.” - Luís Sottomayor, head of Sogrape's winemaking
ORIGINS
