David Stewart, Malt Master of the award-winning Balvenie Distillery, has crafted The Balvenie Signature Single Malt Scotch Whisky - a new addition to The Balvenie range - to mark his 45th year in the whisky industry.

Naming it his signature Balvenie, the 12 year old single malt from the Speyside distillery is a skilful marriage from three cask types - first fill bourbon barrels, refill casks and sherry butts. From the sherry butts come rich fruit and spiciness; the bourbon barrels add subtle vanilla oak and layers of honey and the refill casks impart delicate, sweet notes and smoothness. The result of this union is a perfect balance of spice and subtle oak, deliciously enveloped in The Balvenie’s trademark honeyed character.

Tasting notes: Nose: A rich and complex nose with honey, citrus fruits and vanilla oak notes.

Taste: Rich honeyed sweet taste with a hint of sherry fruitiness. A spiciness (cinnamon, nutmeg) and a subtle oakiness develop with time. The finish is warm and lingering.

Key notes – Citrus, spice, subtle oak.
