Balvenie 12 Years Old Golden Cask 43% vol. 0.7l in a gift box online kaufen

The Balvenie Distillery, which has been producing high-quality whisky since 1892, continues to preserve many traditional methods in its production process to this day. For example, the barley is still grown on site, and the distillery uses a traditional malting floor – a rarity in the modern whisky industry. Furthermore, Balvenie employs its own team of coopers, who are responsible for the maintenance and repair of the casks to ensure optimum quality throughout the entire maturation process.

The Balvenie has added a remarkable new addition to its renowned Cask Finishes Range: The Balvenie 12 Year Old Golden Cask, a tropical-inspired single malt shaped by the influences of two distinct climatic zones.

The maturation process for this whisky begins with 12 years’ ageing in traditional ex-bourbon casks, which impart the typical Balvenie notes of warm honey and gentle vanilla. The whisky is then finished in special rum casks developed by Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie at Balvenie’s Speyside distillery.

This unique process combines the gentle warmth and tropical flavours of Caribbean rums with the precision of the slower maturation process in Scotland. As Kelsey McKechnie explains: “The carefully selected rum blend has created casks that are perfectly prepared to further refine our 12-year-old whisky. The resulting whisky is a harmonious blend of tropical freshness and characteristic depth.”
