Balvenie 12 Year Old American Oak

Gentle and inviting, this single malt shows aromas of honey, vanilla, and blossom, layered with orchard fruit and a touch of citrus. The palate is creamy and rounded, with flavours of toffee, ripe pear, and coconut lifted by light spice. Its warm golden colour reflects the influence of first-fill bourbon casks, while the finish is smooth, sweet-edged, and lingering with notes of vanilla and oak.

Crafted at The Balvenie distillery in Dufftown, this expression is part of the “Stories” range, celebrating tradition and innovation in equal measure. The whisky is matured in first-fill American oak barrels that previously held bourbon, bringing creamy sweetness and aromatic lift to Balvenie’s hallmark honeyed style. The 12 Year Old American Oak captures both Speyside elegance and the richness of its cask influence — an accessible yet characterful malt, perfect for sipping neat or with a splash of water.
